and listening purely to the voices I think, to my taste, Bob has the best voice, and since pre blackwell black + syrian producers had him sing lead they must have thought so too.

does the industry have alight skin bias? no doubt, they did and they do. just like hollywood etc..

about character people think of tosh as the rebel and bob as this one love softie, but it was bob who said "i feel like bombing a church" and many revolutionary songs. he didnt get the name tuff gong being a softie. they would jack up radio djs
etc..
