December 8, 201114 yr Peter Frampton had one hit album. The Beastie Boys have been doing groundbreaking music for 25+ years. Bad argument, '70s guy. Frampton Comes Alive has probably sold more than all of the Beastie Boys combined
December 8, 201114 yr Citing only Wikipedia, because I don't feel like doing much digging... Frampton Comes Alive has sold 8 million copies in the US. The Beastie Boys have sold 22 million records in the US.
December 8, 201114 yr All I know is when I was a teenager on the beach in the summer and the 8 track was jamming Frampton Comes Alive. The girls laid there towels closer and ALWAYS asked you to turn it up ! :ylsuper:
December 8, 201114 yr Oh and thanks Colonels_Wear_Blue for posting The Faces video. My day is going great now!!!! I like Red Hot Chili Peppers, G N R, and the Beasties too, but them Faces smack 'em all around.

December 8, 201114 yr Popularity and quality are not directly linked. At least Roger Troutman came along afterward and showed people how the talk box is supposed to be used. Frampton was/is awful. And for those mentioning Humble Pie as evidence, I ask, really? I'm a student of rock'n'roll history, and I don't know if I can name a single song by the band. The most memorable thing about Humble Pie was Russell from Stillwater trading Penny Lane to the band for a case of Heineken.

Their biggest album "Smokin" was after Frampton left the band and that album also featured their biggest hit "30 Days In The Hole."

Cassandra: Isn't that great? You've heard it? Wayne: Exqueese me? Have I seen this one before? "Frampton Comes Alive"? Everybody in the world has Frampton Comes Alive. If you lived in the suburbs you were issued it. It came in the mail with samples of "Tide".
