(I would only listen to Red if listening to the two other albums that came just before it Larks and Starless)
Tarkus is normally the album that metalheads are supposedly meant to dig.

I wouldn't suggest to him, who has the attention span, to quote himself, of a gnat, an album on which one of the songs is over twenty minutes long!
Even if it is a classic. I'd go for "Trespass" or maybe "Nursery cryme". I feel songs like "The return of the giant hogweed", "The musical box" and "White mountain" would be more likely to engage his attention, if at all...
