Yup. Great stuff.

"Diary" is one of the saddest songs ever.

Oh, lord. Horrible flashbacks to early 70's radio... well, at least it's not "Baby, I'm-a Want You" so there's that -- I might get all stabby.

I would give everything I own
Give up my life, my heart, my home
I would give everything I own
Never to hear Bread, ever again...


"Diary" is completely spoiled for me since the late Richard Jeni's bit about "Ethel Merman sings The Best of Bread".

No.

Do Not Want.

Never liked Bread, though I always thought they should tour with Meat Loaf.

/Bread & Meat Loaf

I always hated their music. Subby can shove a 45 of "If" up his corn hole.

Used to be friends with Jim Griffins son, been ten years, wonder if he's ok. Was in a "band" with em, played a ton of Metalica.

/pointless

phark yeah!!!
this could really rock out a little heavier

No.

Bread could not suck any harder. They are the complete and utter opposite of good. Whoever submitted and greenlit this abomination also suck.

I have a deep affinity for Bread. "Goodbye Girl", "Lost Without Your Love", and "Everything I Own" are awesome songs.


Even though I am an old Butthole Surfers and Skinny Puppy fan, I grew up on that stuff. I have a place in my heart for soft rock.

Nope. Sorry. This stuff blows massive undigested chunks of yesterday's liver and onions, braunschweiger sandwiches, and that dubious looking lump of congealed mush that you found in the back of the refrigerator.

meh.

I never liked their music, but it's absurd to say Bread sucked. And they have 7 gold albums to support my opinion. David Gates has a great tone in his singing - I really like it. But like most people here, I'd rather drive a nail in my forehead than listen to more than 10 seconds of any Bread tune.

Oh, I hated these guys.

Between them and Janis Ian, my sister tried to drive me crazy.

I can't even play the damn video.

If you're looking for the epitome, and I mean the absolute pinnacle of pop-music suckage, you need look no further than the 1970's soft-rock pantheon. They all suck wet farts out of dead pigeons. They always did, and they always will. It's an established fact. If you like them, or think they're cool, you're completely wrong, and that's all there is to it. They sucked even harder back when they were popular, because they were shoving good music out of the picture. They never should have happened, and the world would be a better place if they'd never come along, period.

Yeah, cuz the real music goes enh enh enh enh enh "WHoohhhhhh! AAhhghhhhhh! YYeehahhhhh!@ The stink of Satan's ass!!!!!! UUUhoooohhhhhh!"

Thanks for the link.

Is that a Cerebus reference? Because it just made my day.

Well, at least this one has plenty of distortion.

Jennifer Warnes rocks dude. Jenny sings Lenny is probably one of the best albums to come out of the 90s. But then again Leonard Cohen wasn't on your list so maybe that album was an exception?

Generalize much?

The Osmonds? I beg to differ.

Early Bee Gees? You are sadly mistaken. Later 70's Bee Gees, sure, but 60's is "early" for them.

Don't know where you cut and pasted that from, but do try harder next time before you overreach so strenuously.

When I first met my wife (1976) she was a big fan of Bread whereas I was definitely not. Over the years she's moved on to better music but there's a constant reminder of those days. Our daughter is named Elizabeth Aubrey for the Allman Brothers' In Memory of Elizabeth Reed (my choice) and Bread's Aubrey (wife's choice).

I file Bread under "guilty pleasures." As in, next to Air Supply and Asia.

ABBA, the Carpenters and the Bee Gees, on the other hand, are filed under "I don't care what you say, they're great and you're wrong."

Your list is so full of ill-informed failty, and clueless, pseudo-hipster music snobbery, that your opinion on anything will never be valid on any subject ever again.

i'm *really* sorry to say this about your list...not because most of the acts on it *do* display a certain degree of "suckiness" but because they do it inconsistently; your list is therefore in error.
let me give a few examples:
Loggins & Messina - ok...messina bites but kenny loggins did "I'm Alright" and "danger zone"
Barry Manilow - played as bete midlers piano player in the new york "bath house" venues just as she started out. she was dynamite and so was he. here they are doing marijuana
Al Stewart- did a great tune called "Roads to Moscow " , granted much else is mediocre.
Linda Ronstadt- great voice listen to her attack this old country standard silver thread and golden needles
The Carpenters - they had problems with treacally music however karen carpenter had a stunning voice... check her out with ella fitzgerald

oh...bread, air supply, and the starland vocal band do however blow chunks and are indeed terminally putrid.
