I am currently digging:

Hawkwind, Rare Bird, Gong, Tangerine Dream, Khan, Iron Butterfly, and all things canterbury and hard-psych. I also love jazz!

Please drop me a message with album suggestions.

I like the spooky "Sense of Doubt" best.

Real good poll. Went with "Moss Garden". Ambient paradise on earth in the overcast and rainy noon.

For me it's a tossup between "Heroes" and "Blackout".

Heroes is a great track, one of Bowie's best. But I have to go with the Eno-esque instrumental tracks - Sense of Doubt, Moss Garden, Neukoln. The way they flow into each other, I consider them one long piece. I prefer to listen to all 3 at once, then individually. I love the last 2 in particular. I'll go with Neukoln, since no one's picked it yet :-)

Joe the Lion today for some reason. I've always had a thing for that track. Sure the electronic experimentations are among my fave Bowie moments, plus I love the title track, but it's friday today.

I thank the wonderful art of film the Perks of Being a Wallflower for introducing me to the song Heroes. So good!!! I have much more to discover, the fields abound.

I just noticed the poll.  Am going to have think about this.  Hey lookie, I found some clips from the live tour. 
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I've always had a love-hate relationship with his music...but i'll go for Heroes 'cause it is a really nice track.
