Shame - they were one of my guilty pleasures when I lived in the USA.

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.

Their live show was imo far superior to their albums. Saw tyem supporting Stones in 82.

Yeah, Centerfold was their weak, pop period. Hated the whole album. Loved their earlier bluesy stuff.

I saw that tour at Wembley. I seem to remember Black Uhuru on the bill too.

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

First album was just amazing. Second good also. Gave up with Centerfold, pop not bluesy R&B.
