There is a good guide to the sequences here. I think a medium-length list of various "top quality" posts would be a better introduction, followed by a statement along the lines of "these posts are part of longer 'sequences', here's a link". The reason for doing so is that the sheer length of Sequences is often scaring people off from starting to read them (judging by the opinions of some of my friends I introduced to the website).

If anyone wants to know what some of the highest voted sequence posts are, send me a personal message. (Sorry, I can't link to the page that computes them without overwhelming the server.)

The older posts seem to have fewer votes. Even posts that I consider mediocre get upwards of 20 votes these days, yet Occam's Razor has only 24 right now.
