Sitting here trying to think of bands or musicians that have milked the very most from the very least. Saw a poster for Peter Frampton and it started making me think. That motherfucker has milked ONE album for an entire successful career. If not for 'Frampton Comes Alive' he would be a minor footnote to 70's rock and no one would even remember him (or maybe never even heard of him in the first place).
Don't get me wrong. I totally dig that album. But that's it. That's his career summed up on 1 piece of 2-sided vinyl. It's the only thing played on the radio & the only things he plays live. Still touring and selling tickets and making a living. Everyone knows those tunes.
I say Peter Frampton has milked that 1 album more than any other artist has milked a song or album before (or probably ever will).
What others have milked 1 song, album, event, etc... as badly to make an entire career from it? Are there any others that even come close to Frampton?
