On That Note: Breakfast In America

Want to eat, but not vegetables. Don't want meat from dead animals. Want a treat made from chemicals. Give me Kool Whip. Kool Whip. Modern Man, fussy eater, raised on Spam and Velveeta.

 
Breakfast in America is the ultimate "this album is this band's greatest hits" instance.
 
I disagree. Always much preferred Crime of the Century. Perhaps because the theme of the album is basically, mental illness,and it hit closer to home.

Crime of the Century is a great album, certainly.

But notice I said "greatest hits" -- implying Breakfast in America has a majority of their major pop hits -- and not "the only good album they have, the only one that is worth listening to."

CotC and BiA are two all-timers, to me, but the latter is much better remembered.
