Depends on the person.  Pick something at least a little similar
to stuff they already like.  QS&C is fine for people into new
wave and 80s stuff (it's the one HW song the local "new music"
station ever plays -- or did play, back before I got seriously
tired of "new music" and tuned them out).  If they're into 90s
electronica, start them on IITBOTFTBD.  If they're Motorhead
fans, the date range should be obvious...

You get the idea.

Plus Space Ritual, of course, whatever else you hand them.

Yes, Hawkwind is indeed a proseletyzing religion :-)

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea.
