classic rock nostalgia...

Classic rock is a dying genre. It is highly underrated and underappreciated. So to remedy that, I want to share one of the definitive (and my favorite) classic rock albums of all time, Peter Frampton's "Frampton Comes Alive!". This is a gem of an album if you haven't listened to it. One of the best selling live albums to date (as in EVER), this album was voted Rolling Stone's 1976 Album of the Year, as well as Billboard's number one album from the same year. So if you haven't heard of him, shame on you, but you probably have and just didn't know it. (Just google "Baby, I love Your Way" and you'll see.) Peter Frampton is English musician whose fame sky rocketed with this album's success. I share two of the lesser known songs here, but my favorite from the lot. Apart from his passionate vocals, Frampton is also a gifted guitarist (one of many instruments he plays) and his talent absolutely shines on these tracks. So please have a listen, share some of my classic rock nostalgia, and enjoy.

  1. Frampton freaking rocks. My only issue with him is that as a Brit, he upped and left for OHIO.
