To celebrate Bob's 70th birthday today I created this list of my fave Bob songs for you guys.
I tried to make it ten but couldn't so I decided to make it 15, then I couldn't do that either and since I make the rules around here it's 16+.
They're in no particular order other than the order I thought of them in, so basically that means all 16+ plus is my favorite Bob song of all time.
Right click on mp3 to download them. And you damn well should. I chose each version based on years of listening. My gift to you. Don't thank me, thank Bob.
I have to go to bed now because I have to be at work at 6:30 in the morning tomorrow... 'They'll stone ya when you're tryin' to be so good.'

Good list, I'll even forgive that you included a mix by my evil doppleganger. Good mix of all the eras, keeping away from his born-again phase. Random factoid: new favorite for me "You Ain't Goin' Nowhere." Can't believe I'd never heard that song until last year.
UPDATE: I need the space so took these out of my shared-file. If you want one though, email me and I'll send it to ya. Or buy it on iTunes, ya tight bastards!
