one song to play for a new mmj listener?

[tripingbillies]

What song of mmj would you play for somebody to get them interested?

I would have to say for me its either golden off it still moves
hopefully off acoustic or

my big holiday off it still moves

[EC]

Hmm.  I think Golden is a very good choice.

War Begun!!!!!!!!!!!

and they need to play this live SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!

One Big Holiday or The Way That He Sings, depending on the person and what I think will grab them.
One of the first things I always point out, though, is their versatility so I'd have to play them more than one (cheating, I know  ;))

OBH

One Big Holiday.  The reason being it's up, it gets people interested, it really rocks out, and it showcases Jim's voice perfectly.  It's the kind of song that no matter what your taste, there's something for you.

I agree doctorinthehouse, I think you would grab a lot of people's attention with 'The Way That He Sings" as a first song,

It worked for me! :-)

The Bear was the one that worked for me.  :)

Phone Went West.

Although I know the band is sick of playing this song--I believe this song fits more on "Z" than on At Dawn.

I would say Mahgeeta.  When I first heard it, I said, "no matter if the rest sucks, I'll come bak and listen to this song!"  but then the rest was even better, so I had no worries!

Yes, I also agree.  I used this song on a mix CD for a bunch of folks who had never heard MMJ, and they loved it!

[Half]

the way he sings" would be a great one too

a better idea would be to pick 3 songs

[Dee.]

I was going to say The Way That He Sings, too.  It's undeniable.

[Jellyfish]

Can't believe no one has said "Lowdown".I think it's their most radio friendly song...shoulda been their 1st big hit.

The Bear

Yep, I would put Lowdown in the same category as The Way That He Sings as a grabber  :D
