Proving the Case for Peter Frampton to Join the Hall

The 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class was announced last month with Journey, Tupac Shakur, Yes, Pearl Jam, ELO, and Joan Baez all being admitted. There was also a special award for musical excellence to Nile Rogers of Chic.

Peter Frampton is not yet in the Hall; here are the most compelling reasons to admit this talented artist…

Peter was a rock guitar God at the age of 15 with Humble Pie. As the story goes, Peter always had a hard time getting through security of Humble Pie concerts, a running joke with the other boys in the band. Peter’s “Frampton Comes Alive” is considered a watershed moment for rock in the 70s, staying on the charts for 97 weeks selling 35 million copies – unheard of a that time.

Peter has sold out stadiums and venues for over 30 years, proving he’s a real deal for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
