I just feel lucky that Joni's music gets through to me so all I say to them is "Lets have a round for these freaks..." I've been trying to get one of my friends into Joni's music for ages. I thought it would be easy seeing he is the same age as most of her fans. Boy was I wrong. I started off with C&S which was the most easiest to get into for me. He didn't really think much of it . The I tried the more folkier stuff and that didn't really grap him. Then I tried TI which he thought was ok. Then I tried HEJIRA which he really likes (especially 'Amelia' [even more so the TLOG vers]) and is even going to get the album! I don't think he'l ever like Joni as much as me though because he is drawn to conventional music too much which is so not Joni! Everyone is different but there should be a bit of everything in this list:- Marcie Both Sides Now Rainy Night House Most of BUE You Turn Me On... Free Man In Paris Raised On Robbery Trouble Child Amelia The Magdalene Laundries STEVE T
