I never really liked any of their stuff, it's too weird for me.
But in the interest of fairness, I will give them a chance. What songs should I look for?

Hard to say, in my experience lot's of people like different songs. So the best I could do is list some of my favourites...
Chop Suey (you've probably heard it, big single), Forest, Aerials, Streamline, War?, Peephole and P.L.U.C.K.
One thing to keep in mind is that System of a Down pays attention to the flow of songs on an album and some of the songs flow seemlessly from one to another. So random doesn't work so well on their albums and some of the songs would seem to end abruptly if you listen to them alone. I've kept that in mind for my song recommendations to some extent.
For the best System experience, I would recommend downloading an album and listening to it in order at least 5 times.
With a lot of rock music I find I'm not drawn to it until I hear it a lot. Sometimes you really have to give something a chance. One of my favourites bands (Opeth) took me probably 10 listens of each their albums to get into the particular album.
