    I feel in love with the Bliss Album first. That's a good one to reel them in with, because at the end of it there's a popular song they've heard before (Die Without You).
    I love the summer months!

    Maybe you should start them at the beggining so they can understand the progresion and growth of PM Dawn. But make them wait everytime you drop a new album on them so they will be "HUNGRY" for the next one like we all were... just my 2 cents :blahblah: :blahblah: :blahblah:

    i would say start with the best of for the purpose that those are the songs they might know first......

    if they likey give utopian. cuz its the most well known and first......

    and then just go sequential like the previous post says....

    "eventually i hunted for bside and soundtrack cuts i liked the albums so much
    the vibe says syxx so let it be syxx......

    I'm against "best of"s as a rule. They never really show an accurate "portrait" of most artists.

    I'd just start with Utopian Experience, and go on from the chronologically.

    I dunno- the way music is today, I don't know what I would start with. Of the Cross . . . I think is a little too outdated to just pop on someone. The Bliss Album might be the same way. Jesus Wept is a good choice, but I think I would actually start with Dearest Christian because of the great acoustic sound. Then work backwards maybe . . . .


    just a thought.

    Personally I normally make my own version of a "Best of"....must include...

    When Its Raining Cats & Dogs
    In the Presense of Mirrors
    Even After I Die
    When Midnight Sighs
    I'll Be Waiting for You
    Misery In Utero

    ...and then the "hits."

    This almost always works and they go out and buy the cds.
    I'm not signing this without my lawyer.

    When I met my girlfriend last year I did exactly what Boogie suggested. I lent her the first album, and after she listened to it a bunch of times I lent the second, then the third, etc. At the moment she has my copy of F'd Music (which reminds me... I need to get that precious, precious disc back from her at some point). The whole process took about 10 months.

    Anyway, she didn't really turn out to be a huge fan, but she does like the music. She likes the older stuff better... she's into the rap more than the singing. Personally, I think each album is better than the last.

    Of course, I thought "Dearest Christian" was the worst album for two full years before I had an epiphany one day and realized that it was a work of genius... so sometimes things can take a while to set in.
