 1969: Renaissance - Renaissance - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5bzS0rC_F4
I bought Renaissance' eponymous debut in the late 1970's, expecting to hear Annie Haslam, but it didn't sound anything like the band I knew and loved, so I took it back and asked for a refund, but I Love the album now from the original Kings and Queens of Symphonic Prog.

	IQ - The Wake. Way back in the 80's I heard this band on the radio and it sounded interesting. Then I got the album and it felt like amateur hour compared to the best prog I was used to hearing (ELP, Yes etc). About a year later I started giving it a chance and now they are one of my fave bands. I have to say they have become a lot more polished since those early punkish days!

	In 2017, I "blindly" bought Artificial Language's debut album. I proceeded to regret doing so, but last year, I really came around to it. ("Turn Off the Pictures" is particularly good.) Because I experienced this before, e.g. Discipline's highly regarded works, I'm curious as to what progressive albums people here initially regretted purchasing but eventually came to appreciate.
