J. Geils Band 5

Distinctive sound, incredible live show, great front man and a harmonica player who sounds like a horn section.

Blow Your Face Out - best live album ever. Intro to Musta Got Lost was first rap.
Appologies to Bob Seger(Live Bullet) and Ian Hunter (Welcome to the Club).

One of the greatest party bands and live acts ever. Way before their time and they broke up too soon.

A solid bar band that went the distance with a charismatic front man, but I don't think they were ever aiming to make great art or durable music. They had their fun, we can move on.

Yes.  Their first album qualifies them all on its own.

3 star band, at least.

LIVE FULL HOUSE is one of the 5 greatest live LPs of all time.

Certainly hanging around the fringes of the Hall. "Live - Full House" is as good a live album as has ever been put to vinyl. Until they decide that selling records was more importnat than making good music they were unique. Not only does love stink, but so does selling out. None the less, Magic Dick harp blows with the best of them. J Geils was not the focal point, but Peter Wolf was as charasmatic a lead man and motor-mouth as there ever was. I like their chances and put them in my top 5 or 10 to get in. DEEP PURPLE, GENESIS, YES, JEHRO TULL

Interesting choice. Like Fleetwood Mac, Yes and Aerosmith, this band had two lives and two completely different sounds.

Not a bad band, but not every okay band with a couple hits should go into the Hall, even if they did have a fairly long career.

I think Doug Sahm should get in before J Giles Band - but hey they were one of favorites in the early 70's freeze frame was too commercial for me though.....

The J. Geils band were much better than their sell out album Freeze Frame. But for an overly commercialized album, Freeze Frame was well done. Their 70's stuff was mostly ignored but they made some quality blues rock. I vote yes.
