Breakfast is the 70s popsters’ best album by far. Filled with wry lyrics and catchy pop arrangements, these songs are easy on the ears, and there’s enough pace to make a darn good wog workout. The Logical Song is their best-known number, an anthem for those who want to keep their emotional integrity in a world that can be oppressive.
