Bread. Tasty when slathered with butter and jam, but by itself bread is pretty boring stuff. As it turns out, this is an instructive parallel to Bread the band. Unless you want to relive romantic soft rock ballads from the early seventies, I wouldn’t recommend making a point of listening to Bread. Yawn.
I can’t get ABBA’s songs out of my head no matter how hard I try. There is no danger of that happening with Bread. As the Superseventies web site notes, “Bread has turned being lukewarm into an art form.” With smooth songs like “Make It With You” and “Baby I’m-A Want You” (what does that even mean, by the way?) on the Best of Bread album, I tend to forget that I’m even listening to music at all.
That’s the bad news. The good news about Bread is that they had some really nice mustaches, back in the day. I’m particularly fond of the mustache sported by Mike Botts, the drummer (pictured below).
