BUDDAH'S TOP 15 J. GEILS BAND SONGS

1. Freeze Frame - It's typical upbeat Geils sound with a slight funk meets pop style. It put them even more on the map in 1981.
2. Centerfold - This is a great story of a high school crush. Also from the Freeze Frame record.
3. Must Of Got Lost - Peter Wolf drags this out in live performances. My favorite tune of theirs from the 70's decade.
4. Comeback - They show how complete they are as a band, instrumentally on this rockin' piece.
5. Give It To Me - It's got a bluesy feel with a horn section vibe. A classic cut from 1973.
6. I Do -. Here's a song that I always liked. But it has grown on me even more in recent years.
7. Looking For a Love - Listen to it live. That's the best way to appreciate this gem. This song was made for Peter Wolf to belt it out in his singing style.
8. Flamethrower - Another solid cut from the Freeze Frame album. It's lost it's radio play over the years, but I still dig it.
9. Love Stinks - This song's appeal has slid a bit downward for me. I still love it. A staple tune.
10. This high energy beauty has a distinctive sound all it's own. A catchy jam, indeed.
11. Angel In Blue - The closest thing to a ballad they do that I like. Enough said.
12. Night Time - Another tune with that groovin' bluesy sound. It's music like this that make them just a fun band to listen too over and over.
13. One Last Kiss - I don't know why this isn't more popular. It's their hidden, underrated track.
14. Piss On The Wall - I can't think of a more weird, yet likeable tune this side of Brownsville Station's Martian Boogie.
15. It's a well rounded tune that is unmistakably the J. Geils Band. Another fine live cut too.
UNDERRATED SONG: Teresa - I dunno who she is, but I am way into her song.
DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH SONG: Whammer Jammer - Strong blues flavor here. It's one more solid and great live jam. Give it a listen.
OVERRATED SONG: Til The Walls Come Tumbling Down - If this don't sound like the Stray Cats I don't know what does. Thumbs down, but it's not horrible either.
ALBUM TO LISTEN TO: I could go with one of about 4-5 from this band. Freeze Frame wins!
