Top 10 Best Bread Songs
The band's name might bring to mind a simple, everyday staple, but the music of Bread is anything but ordinary. They became a defining voice of a generation, capturing emotions and experiences in their songs that resonated with listeners across the globe. With their debut album in 1969, they brought a fresh sound that was a blend of rock, pop, and folk music. Tracks like "Make It With You" and "Everything I Own" were just the tip of the iceberg in a career filled with hits.
Did you know that David Gates wrote this song when his father died?
If you listen carefully to the message of the song, it tells how a son loves his father.
This song means a lot to me! I just got back in touch with someone after 31 years. I'm giving up everything and moving to Arizona to be with her!
I used this song to express the love I have for my dad's memory at his funeral. He was my everything, and without him, I would not be the person I am today. Love you, Dad.
This is a great song. No wonder it peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The song also has a very good message.
This is the song that we call "Our Song." It still makes me cry whenever I hear it. We just celebrated our 40th anniversary, and we're still making it together. Love it. Thanks, David Gates and Bread!
"Make It with You" is a very lovely pop song.
This might be an overrated song because it is one of the most famous songs by Bread. But still, Bread's spirit shines in the song.
One of the most beautiful songs I've heard. It is suitable to hear in any situation. Thank you for creating this song, my late father's favorite song.
A fantastic song that draws the listener in by allowing you to imagine that you are singing it to the lady you love.
This is a total outpouring of David Gates' writing talent. It uses more of a storytelling technique, which secured the song's place on the list.
This is absolutely one of the best songs ever written.
Often, the simplest songs are the most magnificent.
A very good song about a man trying to find a second chance.
Just reminds me of a certain time period with a certain boyfriend.
Even though "Lost Without Your Love" is probably Bread's weakest album due to it being released in 1977, when their style of soft rock/power pop seemed to lose touch, as well as it being their last album before splitting up, it does have some strong tracks. The atmospheric title track is the main highlight.
Other tracks, such as "Fly Away," are straight-up eargasms, while rockers such as "Lay Your Money Down" wouldn't sound out of place on a Beatles album. It's a perfectly underrated album from Bread. What else can I say? It drips with atmosphere.
I love the melody and the lyrics, and it has a great intro. It brings back a lot of nostalgia. The guitar solos are amazing, and the song is just plain catchy!
This song is probably the best of all Bread songs. It has an awesome intro and outro, and every guitar player can really relate to the song.
I think this is an awesome song. But I have to tell the truth. There isn't a Bread song that I don't think is awesome.
Very good song and also peaked high on the charts.
Aubrey can make your heart ache! It is sad and yet so beautiful. David Gates' vocal mastery in describing Aubrey leaves you feeling his loss of a very special woman.
A haunting song for sure and definitely one of my favorite Bread tunes.
I think the song can make listeners melt even if they don't understand the meaning. The music, especially the guitar, is very strong.
I have ALWAYS loved this song. I promised myself when I was a kid that if I ever had a daughter, I'd name her AUBREY. That dream came true!
I like to see this song make the list because, even though it got a bit of airplay, it was one of the many 'unknowns.' They had a lot of these on their albums. They were much deeper than folks gave them credit for.
This is what we call the "bad side" of Bread. Bread, though "mellow" as many say, can also rock hard, and this song proves it all.
At 60 years, I still love all of your songs. Simpler days, when most everyone loved Jesus and the Golden Rule. Thank all of you and God bless you! Mrs. Mitchell
The Newcomers
One of the best songs ever written.
Wonderful lyrics. My favorite song of all.
That Griffin voice was the best.
This just sums up real love. Not sure at first, but it is what it means to be ready for love!
I shared this song with someone I truly loved in my past life. It says it all!
I've been tasting the love you've been wasting! Every woman should know - and all men know - that's what women do!
Who says that Bread can't play hard rock?
Great lyrics. This song has a wonderful message and meaning.
A great Griffin-Royer song, one of the best on the album "Manna." True Bread fans love the songs that weren't on the radio. I'm very partial to this one in particular.
Just love this. Shows Bread's more hardened sound. Great drums on this.
The most impressive song by them, in my opinion, both vocally and instrumentally.
Each and every one of us, alone or with someone, has to "make it by yourself." If you don't, you can't be truly happy or bring happiness to the ones you love!
A great song that never gets airtime. The only joint Gates/Griffin effort, and it really deserved better. Easily my favorite non-hit.
Just like yesterday, you come upon my mind and take it away.
