RIP.

First saw the mighty J. Geils Band on 15 Dec 1978 at Cobo Hall Detroit. I was 14. They were the ultimate party band back in the day. So funky with super hard driving R&B chops. The East Detroit High school marching band came out and lined the front of the stage, as they marched off, Geils was on stage roaring into their set.

Most people do remember Centerfold late 1981. Diehards were disappointed with that album. In fairness, they probably deserved to make some money, but our J. Geils on MTV, what BS. Though their commercial peak, it was the beginning of the end. The older hard driving stuff is much more representative of what they were all about.

This was the band you put on at a party, getting a little buzzed, and trying to make out. Got lots of airplay back before corporate radio playlists. For sure a killer live band. For sure a band of their era.

RIP J. Geils much respect.

yeah, i put up 'centerfold' because i wasn't too sure if too many people on here would know who he is and that's 'the one' everyone would instantly recognize.

madferitusa2025 let's keep it going with a few more.

idledreamer Was actually surprised to see anyone post about this ::)

I hope you've got that signed Freeze Frame displayed somewhere

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

ennex: G'day folks, Sept 21, 2024 4:51:22 GMT -5

colincarrot: ...it says I don't have permission to access this thread, maybe it's because I only joined today but I'm not sure what to do, could somebody help or know what to do?

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5

Bonehead's Barber: spooky! Oct 17, 2024 8:13:01 GMT -5
