THE ESSENTIAL REO SPEEDWAGON charts the group's progress from 1971 to 1999, from the early riff-rockers on which the act built its fanbase to the juggernaut hits of the early 1980s to a handful of later recordings. Kevin Cronin and company certainly know their way around an anthemic ballad, as evidenced on the guitar-driven \"Keep on Loving You,\" the powerfully catchy \"Take It on the Run,\" and keyboard-laden \"Can't Fight This Feeling.\" The earlier collection THE HITS places all of REO Speedwagon's radio-friendly singles in a more concise, single-disc package for casual fans, but, for those wishing to delve further into the band's catalog, this double-CD compilation is indeed essential.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 08\/10\/2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRSD Date: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 8\/10\/2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 8\/10\/2004\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Reo Speedwagon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52746853482789,"sku":"0BLOYZ-H6LU-P6","price":13.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0821\/8142\/3397\/files\/reo-speedwagon-the-essential-reo-speedwagon_BBiJZ.jpg?v=1783456856","url":"https:\/\/mediamall.com\/products\/reo-speedwagon-the-essential-reo-speedwagon","provider":"mediamall","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
