"Memories", always. And now probably "Sunfeet". _________________ "The artist, like the God of creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails."(J.Joyce) |

Ooh, good question. I always wondering this. Then I usually pick wrong. 
But yes, depends on the person most definitely. Marvelous Things got my attention first when I saw the video on some program. Then I looked up Eisley and found the "Head Against the Sky" EP. However, that same order doesn't seem to work for everyone! Since you asked from the new album, I'd go with "Taking Control," "Go Away," or "Invasion." At least for those mainstream people. I would also think about "Combinations," that song is different but soooo good. From Room Noises...the first 5 tracks. If they don't like any of those tracks, they just may not like Eisley. (weirdos!  )

With this new album.... I would use three tracks in a row. Go Away, ICBTFY, Come Clean. Maybe not the strongest pick of the collective tracks, but to me, they're wonderful examples of how the writing has strengthened with this album. _________________ My name is actually Sarah. Facebook. Twitter. |

Not Invasion. I think that is the worst possible single out of all Eisley songs. Great, but not a mass appeal pop single. I'd say 'Taking Control' for the rock crowd, 'Combinations' for the Ellen/daytime crowd, and 'I Wasn't Prepared (re-produced by R. Gibbs) for the accidently hearing masses (supermarkets, bookstores, TV background music, etc.). |

I play them the album. case in point: my friend had heard Taking Control on the radio (Dermot O'Leary). I was at a friend's house yesterday. I had Room Noises with me, on the off chance that he had heard Taking Control on the radio the day before. He had. He liked. I put on Room Noises. I put it on his computer. I left it there. I really wanted to listen to it last night, as well! 
That said, I did make a mix tape with, I think, Sea King, Telescope Eyes version 2, Mr Pine, and maybe Plenty of Paper. _________________ She is handsome, she is pretty, she is the girl from Belfast City, she is courtin' one two three, please won't you tell me who is she?

I'm not saying I have a better choice, though. I'd have a hard time picking one out of the whole CD. The first song by them I ever heard was Head Against the Sky. A friend sent me the EP2 in late 2003 and I fell in love. But it really doesn't represent Eisley anymore! |

I'm going to agree with the "it depends on the person" statement. For me, it was They All Surrounded Us. My grandfather loves Go Away because it reminds him of oldies. My mum digs Just Like We Do. My brother, who's main love in music is metal and punk likes to sing along to Go Away and Come Clean. _________________ I lay in the grass and I lose your scent. |

I got hooked on the band with "One Day I Slowly Floated Away", but I usually have people listen to "Memories." |

The movie "Invasion' has totally bombed. Best to gain a bit of distance from that. Playing it on Conan might confuse. |

I usually use Trolley Wood, Brightly Wound, or Memories. _________________ ~Rachel~ "Even when the rain falls Even when the flood starts risin' Even when the storm comes I am washed by the water Even when the earth crumbles under my feet Even when the ones I love turn around and crucify me I won't ever, ever let you down Won't go, won't go, won't go as long as You're around me" |

As for what song you should use to introduce someone to eisley... that's a hard one for me to say too. I'd say "Taking Control" is a good one though. imo, it's a very mainstream kind of song that a lot of people could like. _________________ - Anthony |

Sunfeet from the new ep . No, it really does depend on the person. Golly Sandra and Marvelous Things maybe. From Combinations I think Taking Control might be ok, the chorus may be too mainstream sounding to represent correctly but the little bridge is unique. Invasion has that Coldplay type piano to hook but has the awesome " Oh something's not right" part that is so Eisley. _________________
