This is an attempt to provide a listenable but comprehensive overview of bob in the 1980s

• a decade which divides opinions more than any other.

Let the songs do the talking – here are some of the better circulating versions which are not copyright.

Two simple rules:

• the song had to be written by bob in the 1980s; &
• the song had to be played by bob in the 1980s.

Make up your own mind – some of bob’s greatest songs can be found here.
