I keep thinking Bread had a good song I actually liked. I mean I had a Best of Bread CD or Tape at some point in my life. Probably through a record club.

What are their best songs in your opinion? I'm not a big fan of the Jacksons, but I don't seem to really like Bread at all. I just don't hate them the way I do BM.

[JackieLikesVariety]

I like a lot of them.

someone posted Mother Freedom, that's a good one, and Everything I Own. I like Guitar Man. I'm embarrassed about it, but I do.

I owned this LP which I see is now $31.49 for vinyl



but I get that some of their songs are horrible. Diary, for example. terrible!

Why do I get the crazy notion that Borbs is trying to get back at the Breadites for beating pizza in the granddaddy of all megapolls?

I wanna make it with you

this cannot be about pizza which totally deserved to beat actual bread!

too obvious.

Some rye humor when talkin’ ‘bout Bread.

Pizza = Bread + a helping of Pizzaz

Non-cheesy Bread song suggestions (at least musically):

Been Too Long on the Road
