I think
Heroes Are Hard To Find is under-rated (well, my view is shaped by the fact that was their current album when I first got into the band). That album and
Mystery to Me are probably the best to hear Bob Welch's contributions, both as songwriter and guitarist. Although he certainly contributed a few gems to
FG &
BT, his own, often quite jazzy, guitar style didn't really stand out nearly as much as in the later albums. "Hypnotized" from
Mystery to Me has got to be his signature track as both songwriter and guitarist.
