My coworker had never heard #TheDivineComedy!
I confirmed that she had at least heard the credits song that #NeilHannon wrote for the #HitchhikersGuide movie.
After that, I was not sure what to recommend. All of the albums are different enough from each other that it is hard to say what is emblematic of their sound.
I ended up recommending Promenade, since it has four of my favorite songs, and I think she will like the ridiculous tracks like A Seafood Song.
Am I just now realizing, two Cantos later, after looking up who the "Queen of everlasting lamentation" refers to (Persephone, duh, who else could it possibly be..), that the Pluto we met earlier is Hades, THE HADES (husband/kidnapper to Persephone).
I can't for the life of me internalize the roman names.

Reading the divine comedy...now what the hell is a fen? What do you mean there are fens, bogs and marshes? I just knew swamps.
It turns out hell, or at least the 4th (5th?) circle of hell, is alkaline, who would've thought.
Got started with The Divine Comedy after only getting halfway through The Aeneid. I wanted to read the Aeneid to better understand The Comedy, but I guess it will work the other way around. It will help as motivation to get back to the Aeneid afterwards to catch any missed references 
So has it been fated by the reading gods.
