ivansc Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Shame - they were one of my guilty pleasures when I lived in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Nothing wrong with liking J Geils Band. Their music saw me through the uninteresting times between Glam Rock and Punk in the 70s. And IMO Centrefold was one of their weaker songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeyboro Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Their live show was imo far superior to their albums. Saw tyem supporting Stones in 82. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yank Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Yeah, Centerfold was their weak, pop period. Hated the whole album. Loved their earlier bluesy stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howdenspur Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 As others have said, their earlier blues based stuff is great and Full House is one of my favourite live albums. Like BRX says, they helped keep things exciting before punk. RIP JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
