You really need to listen to them, especially (in my opinion) Heroes, Mystery and Penguin. Bob was on the top of his game back then.
It is also worth chasing up a couple of Bob's solo albums, specifically Three Hearts and French Kiss. The rest of his solo career has, in general, been pretty hit and miss. If you don't mind the heavier stuff, the chase up the two Paris albums as well.

Good long-term advice, but don't be intimidated in the short term. Just take it one album at a time. Start with 'Future Games,' since it was the first chronologically. Just put it on and listen.
You don't have time today to listen to all five of the Welch era albums, and you don't have time today to find copies of all of Bob's solo work, but you DO have time to listen to 'Future Games.' Do it. You won't regret it. The title song was one of the defining moments of Bob's career, plus you'll get some tasty material from Christine and Danny, too.
