American Fool [Riva, 1982]
The breakthrough crossover fluke of the year has it all over his predecessors in REO Speedwagon. Bob Seger has been dreaming of riffs with this much melodic crunch since Night Moves and when I don't think too hard into the hows or whys it more than satisfies my mainstream cravings. But the guy's a phony and not in a fun way, either. Anyone who has the gall to tell teen America that when you're past sixteen, the thrill of living is gone has been slogging towards stardom for so long that he never noticed what happened to Sean Cassidy.
