I don't know what works the best, but I have this lovely little memory of hosting a party in my tiny apartment my sophomore year in college. When we all had a good buzz going, I gathered a bunch of my girlfriends around my tape player and played The Last Time I Saw Richard. They were all floored and asked me to play it again. I was in heaven, watching them recognize the brilliance of the song. In retrospect, we were probably all just high of our rockers, but it sure was nice! In my senior year, I made a mixed tape for a guy I just started dating - I tried to pick out the songs I thought he'd like best...lots from C&S and Blue. A year into our relationship he was singing along word for word to all the songs...if he did it to impress me, it worked. I married him. (Okay, it took me 10 years to marry him, but I finally did).

Back in the days when I was still trying to turn non-Joni fans on, I usually played them first the song Blue to show the vocal performance. Then I would try to show the variety of styles with tracks from Mingus (The Wolf for instance) and DJRD (this was at least 10 years ago) I would never think of playing Song for Sharon nor Cold Blue Steel though. But again I've never succeeded at this (that's why I gave up). If anyone has had better luck, what songs do you find impress non-fans best?
