    Frampton still does it for me to this day.I would give courtesy acknowledgement to Kiss Alive I and II, but the music of those fine showmen has not really stood the test of time for me.

    What? No “Get Your Ya-Yas Out”?I’d also suggest Roxy Music’s underrated “Viva Roxy Music.”

    I can’t stand live albums. The crowd screaming always kills my ears.I do love Cheap Tricks live version of Want You To Want Me, though.

    I haven’t heard the Kiss records.Ya-Yas was close to being on my list. They are, without a doubt, the best live band ever. I like Roxy Music, but haven’t heard that record- I’ll check it out.
