I’ve heard that sound before.

REO Speedwagon? Who is it???

It sounds to me more like the Tommy Shaw side of Styx. Light voice that hits the high notes. A lot of keyboard to satisfy Dennis DeYoung. Reo and STYX have been considered twins seperated at birth by some, but listen to “If I Could Just Get Through This Night” or “Crystal Ball” by STYX and you may hear that, too.

Okay, I had a listen and that’s not it.

I’m talking more the melody. Namely, “no one is ever going to love you more than I do…”

It’s REO Speedwagon.

It’s not REO Speedwagon. I was a big REO fan.That’s not their style.

Huh. Boston?

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

Nope. I was a big Boston fan as well.

@Adirondackwannabe I have heard that sound before… Ugh.

Jude's avatar

I still love this song.

I know that I’m not losing my mind. It’s a mystery, kids.

@Adirondack, how old are you? I don’t think that we’re far off in age. I’m 38.

@Jude It’s familiar but I can’t place it.

Eagles?

Totally just guessing…. =/
Also, that Band of Horses song breaks my heart every time. :(

“Vocalist Bridwell has been likened to Jim James of My Morning Jacket,[2] early Neil Young, and Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips.[3]”

The chorus reminds me of oREO Speedwagon, Air Supply, a wee bit of Toto.
Maybe a smidgen of Supertramp.

I’m a little confused. Your OP links to a youtube video who tells who it is. Band of Horses
