Before REO Speedwagon found success in the early '80s with their radio friendly rockers and ballads, the band spent almost the entire '70s touring the U.S. and paying their dues. While they didn't score any hits on par with their aforementioned '80s work, they penned many songs that would become REO standards and fan faves and most are spotlighted on the 1980 compilation A DECADE OF ROCK N' ROLL: 1970-80. The two best known tracks remain the tough rocker "Ridin' the Storm Out," plus the more melodic "Roll with the Changes," but such lesser known tracks as "Like You Do," "Golden Country," "Son of a Poor Man," "Back on the Road Again," and "Keep Pushin'" are just as enjoyable.
