Bread is such a great classic 70s pop group, but at the same time they transcend pop, because their songs are almost all very melancholy. Their music is a lot like Nick Drake's in some ways, it's very easy to listen to, very easy to get (much easier to process than Nick Drake's... which is an acquired taste, I think) but it's emotionally complex while being intellectually simple. It's spiritually complex while being philosophically simple. Your mind is not so much at work as your heart.
