You Can Tune a Piano but You Can't Tune a Fish is one of the best REO Speedwagon albums, probably my favorite of their studio releases. It has great tunes and is known for Roll with the Changes and Time For me to Fly. But its the other tunes that do it for me, primarily the Unidentified Flying Tuna Trot and Say You Love Me or Say Goodnight. Every track on here is very good to my ears. One ituner said this would be one of his five albums with him if he were stranded on an island. Well . . . that might be a stretch but it is super good.
If I were getting one studio recording of REO it would be the compilation Decade of Rock and Roll 1970 to 1980. For live go with You Get What You Play For or Live at Riverport (together with Styx). I like this latter one because Styx and REO play Blue Collar Man and Roll with the Changes together which is cool (see below).
It is very remarkable to see REO and some of the other "older" bands like the Stones, Aerosmith and others still performing at a high level with great sound. But they are still getting it done as can be seen here with Styx in Saint Louis.
