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.

Hmm...do you think Future Games is the best place to start? I'd be skipping Future Games and Bare Trees and jumping right into the good stuff. Oh yeah I'll admit that Lay It All Down is perhaps one of the best Bob Welch songs of all time, but it is the one redeeming feature of the album IMO.
Personally I'd start with Heroes and work backwards but perhaps I only think that way because that is what I did.
