Frampton Comes Alive! was released 50 years ago. Say something nice about it.
There are like 2 songs decent on it, rest of it is garbage. I don't understand the hype

Frampton Comes Alive! [Warner Bros., 1976]Alright, Peter, you win. I'll review your stupid album--it's only been in the top 20 all year. Now will you please go away? C-
he played a set on a local radio station in my town in '81. by that point just 5 years later the guy was so irrelevant he couldn't get arrested.
>>129053900>it's only been in the top 20 all yearBack when that was considered a blockbuster. Now with streaming fraud you can hold down the top 5 almost indefinitely
>>129053676Is there anyone you knew who didn't have that record? I don't think so. Bam!
>>129053911the fraud began with the Soundscan switch in the early 90s which allowed Garth Brooks to cheat his way into triple platinum
>>129053942They thought it would make album sales more transparent, but they didn’t seem to realize you could just scan barcodes without buying them first.
>>129053676I unironically love his version of Jumping Jack Flash
>>129053676frampton was based in humble pie but couldn't hack it anymore having to be around a schizoid mentalist all day every day so he left the Pie and just made himself some nice normie slop for boomers to chill out to
>>129053942As well as allow Mariah Carey to get ten #1s in a row.
>>129053942On the contrary, the old system marginalized country music and soundscan revealed just how hugely popular it really was. Virtually all country across the board saw a major boost in chart visibility.
My understanding is that hard rock, rap, and country were always deliberately undercounted because the record industry was still half in a 1950s mentality where only pop, folk, and jazz were "real" music and the other stuff was for illiterate grug cavemen.
>>129054069Really I think there was just a bias for bland MOR music and top 40 pop that cut across genre barriers and didn't offend the tastes and values of anyone running the music industry. That's what they wanted to push and that kind of defined the pre-90s monoculture. What the soundscan era really did was expose and widen the genre divides that already existed among average listeners and balkanize and ghettoize the charts. Billboard was already nudging in that direction by introducing more genre airplay charts throughout the 80s.
>>129054069The most honest period of the Billboard charts was in the 2000s, after Napster but before streaming. Outside that it's usually been cooked in some way or another.
>>129054175Actually the most honest period was the early 2010s when streaming was shaking up the system but the system hadn't quite figured out how to harness it yet.
>>129053676I could wall a house with copies of it.
>>129053676I am not a homosexual person, but I'd make an exception for angelic looking 70's guitar man.
Baby I Love Your Way was on the radio yesterday and I got sick of it after about a minuteI hate the fucking talk box too, that shit sounds worse than auto tune
>>129055103That shit blew boomers' minds in the 70s
I love his way, but not everyday.
>>129053779>There are like 2 songs decent on it, rest of it is garbageThat's 80% of 70s albums.
I like that one song where the guitar talks to you... whatever it's called
>>129053676it's legitimately fantasticheard it last summer and listened to the full album 24 times sinceand it's a long album, like a whole concert long1970's were the best (just guessing obvs but best music and best movies? hard to beat)
>>129055103>I hate the fucking talk box>I WANNA LAY YOU
