Albums From the Year 1976 – Part 1

In the first of a multi-episode stretch this episode is all about the albums released in the very prolific year of 1976. The first of four albums we chose are:

Peter Frampton – Frampton Comes Alive

Boston – Boston (debut album)

It was very difficult to narrow down to just 4 albums for a year that saw some of the most successful albums released. We start with one of Mark’s favorite all-time albums, Peter Frampton’s release Frampton Comes Alive. The best selling album for 1976 it still sells thousands of albums each year.

Next comes Carey’s entry, Boston’s debut album Boston. Chock full of radio ready singles and for the time mind blowing guitar work. Tom Scholz’s work on this album was a high water mark for guitar oriented music in the late 70’s.
