Journey is the perfect example of a band that was once decent, then went “Chick Band”. REO Speedwagon is the other one.
Had a friend in high school, the biggest REO Speedwagon fan there was, until Hi Infidelity came out, and when I noticed he was no longer wearing the T-Shirts, he told me, “I’m never listening to that effing band again!”
I liked “Ridin’ the Storm Out,” “Roll With the Changes” and some of those songs when I was in high school.
But their later stuff was awful, IMO.
