REO Speedwagon 

the best 80s band ever

Reo speedwagon sings "take it on the run" and "keep on loving you"

REO Speedwagon 

The Great 80’s band that plays the song “Can’t Fight This Fealing”. Also the song I had my first slow dance to.
REO Speedwagon really made Henry and I’s night special

REO Speedwagon 

The Speedwagon was a fast station wagon of the 1940's made by Ransom E. Olds (I don't know what the E stands for). Mr. Olds started two car companies, Oldsmobile and REO. Oldsmobile was later purchased by GM. REO became extinct a long time ago. Obviously, Oldsmobile is now just a part of automotive history as well.
Think of the REO Speedwagon as the Dodge Magnum SRT8 of the 1940's. I seriously believe the band was named after the car (also with Pantera).

reo speedwagon 

Rock band known for a string of hit songs in the '80s, such as "Can't Fight This Feeling" and "Take it on the Run"

synonomous with "overrated"
REO Speedwagon is the most overrated band ever; they just played the same song over and over again and changed the lyrics a little bit

"Goddammit...REO Speedwagon wrote another shitty love song."
"Yeah...they're just a crappy rip-off of Styx."

reo speedwagon 

A band that made a lot of sappy love songs a long time ago and has been ruining my opinion of classic rock stations ever since.
"That song was classically awesome and not REO Speedwagon! I wonder what the next one is.....what the *&!# is this!!!?" (five minutes ago)
