    It's not even the best REO Speedwagon song ever.

    Time For Me To Fly, Roll With The Changes, Take It On The Run, all vastly superior.

    Oh no, not one of the kitsch threads about Journey, REO Speedwagon or Toto.

    Not the worst bands mind you, but overplayed and overrated.

    Still, not as bad as people bursting in Spandau Ballet's "Gold". That was the height of gassness during the Celtic Tiger.

    Funny thing about AOR shi'te is that now I'm ancient and Trump is in power they sound much better than they did in the 80s when I was young and Reagan was Prez. That said ultimately it's the musical equivalent of cheese in a spray can, okay in a one off guilty pleasure fashion but impossible to sustain oneself on.

    I'm only learning how to drive so I can play this Queen power ballad type song in my car...

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oaEM4JYFPfw

    The lyrics are funny, dramatic and melody is really catchy!

    simply red..... dreadful chav fodder which every wannbee cool soul boy had on in their pimped up ford escort hoping to get a grope of their big haired, big shoulder padded blonde chewing gum girlfriend...probably called sharon
    jon bon not jovi.....found out their one song was quite catchy and then lived off it for the next 20 years...actually wasn't all that good to start with...just no
    Robbie Williams...music to drive off a cliff to

    At the outset they had a few good songs like "Do the Right Thing".

    But Stars was just awful, sold by the gazillion and they just kept pumping out that bland crap.

    On the subject of great driving tunes. There is no better song to drive along to with the windows down and the volume up, than this soft rock classic: :D

    I've always had a thing for the romantic lyrics and peeled back beat of Vienna by Ultravox. I was less than a year old when it was released, so I'm sure I heard it on the radio at some stage during my early formative period.
