How to recruit fans

[dansven]

Somebody asks you: "What are you listening to?"
You reply: "Peter Green - he's the best!!" or "Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - they're fantastic!!"
The other person: "Yeah! I've heard about him, but I haven't heard any of his music. I saw a CD called Two Greens Make A Blues at the record shop the other day ... I think I'll have a listen to it."
You: "Errrr.... I don't think that's the best one to start with......"
The other guy: "Okay... Well, play me some now!"

I'm sure somebody here has experienced similar situations. I just thought it'd be nice to hear what you folks think? Where do you start? What is the first song(s) you would play to somebody interested in what this guy called Peter Green is all about?

I guess it will depend on the musical background to the one you're approaching...

I assume most of you would start with the Fleetwood Mac era, right?

Blues or rock?
Albatross?
Oh Well? Personally I don't think Pt. 1 shows that much of his lead guitar potential...
Black Magic Woman?
Green Manalishi?
24 minute Rattlesnake Shake? Naaah, not unless the guy is an "acid rock fan".

Of the blues stuff, I think I'd actually start with some live stuff. Jumping At Shadows, All Over Again... Maybe Stop Messin' Round or Love That Burns from Mr. Wonderful.

In the Skies stuff? White Sky?
Splinter Group?

Imagine you only have time/chance to play two or three songs. How to plant a seed? What songs are best suited to recruit a new Peter Green/Fleetwood Mac fan?
