Bob Welch - The Other One:
I've honestly never listened to more than two songs on this record much, but they epitomize the perfect vibe that Bob Welch created. There's some sentimentality involved with this sound as it comes along with memories of seeing the film Fast Times at Ridgemont High before I was old enough to really process its sleaze. It's that zone in an 1980s teen movie where summery easy-listening jams combine with the first naked girls you'd ever seen to create a perfect memory-imprinting situation. Bob Welch should be a bit more notorious for largely helping Fleetwood Mac settle into their final incarnation. But keeping true to the perfect doomed script that record heads thrive on, he dropped random hits like 'Future Games' and 'Old Man of 17' and then left the earth.
