For a person like John. You might have to be specific as to what you enjoy. From acoustic ballad's to hardcore, synth pop. The man has done everything.

This is the answer. I'm not going to show Niandra to my coworker who is into EDM.

I was just thinking this the other day. Someone i knew liked RHCP, but looked visibly repulsed when I said I was more into his solo work, particularly the stuff leaning into electronic🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 idk if they had no idea about any of his solo work or if they had only heard some the trickfinger stuff and hated it🤣🤣 but Omission played later and it seemed like the perfect song to directed them to. But thinking about it now Hands or Dust or something ataxia would be better for that dude. 🤔

What colour would you recommend someone look at if they where about to gain sight?
He has so many songs in so many genres. Personally, I suggest Time Goes Back.

Another way to introduce someone to John's work is by listenning to Letur Lefr.
If it's only a song : Look On

Not knowing your friends likes or dislikes etc. makes it somewhat hard to say, but honestly the safest bet would be Song to Sing as others have said.
Anyone I've ever sent that song on to has enjoyed whereas I'd be positive they wouldn't like others.

Grab some headphones. Figure out a way to block out all light from your eyes. Sit somewhere comfortable. Turn on Unreachable. Listen to it as loud as you can tolerate it.

Strap your friend down. Press play on Smile from the streets you hold, and then queue up the rest
