Having this girlie man, pansy, RICHARD ROEPER give advice on the best Rock song "ever" is like paying attention to Saddam giving a critique of how bad Hitler was on human rights.
Ergo, Roeper wouldn't know a 'rock song' if it hit him upside his freaking head purse.
Anyway.. the best Rock song ever is "Roll With the Changes" by REO Speedwagon and THAT song has the best guitar licks ever.
And if that song comes on and you don't turn it to "eleven" you have zero soul, are 'musically challenged' and should stick to Polkas. (no offense I like Polkas)
And this jerkweed Roeper should know that as REO is from Chicago. During their heyday there was graffiti everywhere that said
Sex, Drugs, Rock & Roll
Sex, Drugs and REO!
(gotta find my CD, screw the neighbors, its time to ROCK!)
"Golden Country" and "Like You Do" by REO are a couple of my favorites. When I'm home alone I'll put REO in the stereo hooked up to speakers throughout the house and around the pool. Crank it up and treat the neighbors!
REO Speedwagon? Are you high? Together with Styx, REO Speedwagon is the ultimate Camaro-driving, permed-mullet-having, sensitive-trailer-park-guy band in the world. Any group that could put out such limp-wristed hits as "I Can't Fight This Feeling" is not a rock and roll band. A rock and roll band is a band that plays rock and roll, not syrupy top 40 ballads. The Who is a rock and roll band. The Clash was a rock and roll band. AC/DC is a rock and roll band. REO Speedwagon is a pop band that makes slow-dance ballads for junior high school homecoming mixers.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. People should listen to the kind of music they like, even if it's REO Speedwagon. I'm just saying that REO Speedwagon ain't rock and roll.
What else did you listen to? Little River Band and "The Babys"?
REO & Journey were absolute best driving music - sun roof open - driving over to Florida beaches....yeah.
Gotta get off this thread :o)
