IMHO, BSM is definitely the most "listener friendly" Oils album. I've weened
some friends on BSM as their first introduction to the Oils, with a pretty
good success rate. Then i'd hit them with D&D, ESM & Breathe (in that
order). If they're not convinced by then, they don't deserve to hear the
earlier stuff.

I personally wouldn't go for Blue Sky Mining first. It was the second album
I bought by MO and I really didn't go for it. 10-1 is probably a good
choice, it's a classic. What about Earth and Sun and Moon? It's pretty
different from D&D and would add a nice element of contrast. It's a catchy
album, and not as challenging as some other Oils music (I find). Or maybe I
just say this cause I love the album.;) 
Personally I'd reflect on the tastes of the person in question, and try to
find what would best suit their tastes.
