Gugny Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Since he had nothing to do with "We Built This City," which I consider the worst song ever recorded .... RIP. But I did find out that Peter Wolf, who I love, co-wrote (along with Bernie Taupin ...really ???????) that horrible song and that makes me sad.

ExiledInIllinois Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Call Me a cornball... But I liked Balin's soft 70s sound: RIP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 His voice never sounded so beautiful as it does on this timeless tune - and the bevy of beautiful women in the video is a nice bonus. RIP, Marty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP. But I did find out that Peter Wolf, who I love, co-wrote (along with Bernie Taupin ...really ???????) that horrible song and that makes me sad. OK, you made me look this up. At least it isn't that Peter Wolf, the J. Geils Mass(um, person) (who I do kind of like despite that). It's some other Austrian guy who looks like the type who would've had a hand in creating that monstrosity of the 80s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Wolf_(producer) Edited September 29, 2018 by The Frankish Reich 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
row_33 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Fun to see how little music fans know about their first handful of albums, including one of the top ten best of the acid era..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Geils band is gay. Any band from Boston is except for Boston. I do love that dirty water though. Not that there is anything wrong w/that, just saying. /very_discriminatory_against_boston ?
