The J. Geils Band was an American rock band formed in 1967 in Worcester, Massachusetts, that had a successful R&B-influenced blues-rock sound in the 1970s, before moving towards a more pop-influenced sound in the 1980s, which brought them MTV airplay and their 1982 international hit single, "Centerfold."

Their songs include:

The J. Geils Band provides examples of the following tropes:

Anti-Love Song: "Love Stinks"
The Band Minus the Face: Soldiered on without Peter Wolf. Not the same, although they did do the Fright Night theme song.
Claymation: A part of "Freeze Frame" some of this.
Crossdresser: Peter Wolf does this in a part of Love Stinks.
Getting Crap Past the Radar: Saxophone/harmonica player Richard Salwitz is better known by his nickname: Magic Dick.
Love Triangle: "Love Stinks".
My Girl Is Not a Slut: "Centerfold" - the singer/protagonist of the song is throwing a massive hissy fit over the fact that a girl he knew in high school is now a Playboy model
- In a Twist Ending, he is eventually able to accept it...and even embraces it.
Nice Hat
Playing to The Fetishes: Sexy schoolgirls in "Centerfold". It appears that sexy schoolgirls are not only a cross-cultural fetish, but a cross-generational one as well.
Stop and Go: "Centerfold", in which it is covered by crowd noises
Sweater Girl: "Centerfold", yet again:

Those soft and fuzzy sweaters
Too magical to touch
