Background notes
Archive material and source history
Top Gear formed in Los Angeles in the early 1990s as a quartet with Kevin Cronin on lead vocals and guitar, Tom Kelly on drums, Dan Peek on bass and vocals, and Bob Wilson on keyboards. Their self-titled debut album came out in 1979, which seems to contradict the earlier formation date, but that's what the record shows. The single 'Las Vegas' from that album became a hit.
Internal tensions and creative differences led to lineup changes over time. Cronin dealt with addiction issues in the late 1980s that threatened the band's continuity. They managed to regroup after that period and kept recording, putting out albums like 'Top Gear Too' in 1993 and 'The Long Road Home' in 2007.
Their catalog includes eight studio albums spanning from 1979 to 2017. The band's sound was built around straightforward rock arrangements with accessible melodies, anchored by Cronin's vocals and Wilson's keyboards. They never became critical darlings but maintained a steady following through various phases of rock radio.
