Of those listed The Mars Volta song is my favorite, however I voted for the one that suits the topic more.


"In the Flesh".  I did not like that song, and that band very much at first.  I didn't even like it when Dream Theater covered it and I was a fan of theirs then. 

However, come time and new ears I began enjoying the song quite a lot.  And then we got married.

The Barbarian is for me. If I had just 5 minutes to convert someone into prog I just would play that song. Probably one of the best openers of all time

I actually like all of them very well from the beginning on.  LOL

But "Proclamation" and "Passion Play 2"  are my favorites;  I'll take the latter  as the hare story is so great.  Tongue

Voted Porcupine Tree. I wasn't really a fan of Fear of a blank planet at first, but after some more listens, I really like it.

I like lots of those song on first listen. Proclamation is one of my favorites and it took a little time to grow on me (though I did initially like it) so I go for GG again.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I think it wouldn't be unreasonable to say Robert sucks.

Which Robert?...Confused (the one in my picture?)

I've heard all but one and I can't honestly say I hated any of them when I first heard them.  Although I wasn't particularly impressed with Going For The One.  Volta is the one band I haven't become acquainted with.  Proclamation actually hooked me on Gentle Giant.  Love all of Passion Play including the silly bits.  Magnum Opus is certainly worthy of coming in low in the poll especially the live Two For The Show version.  I just put on The Barbarian, not sure what there isn't to like about that one.  Ace Of Wands kicks ass.  No problems with Anethetize, didn't numb me at all.  In The Flesh is not a favorite from that album, but we're going to have to put you up against the wall.  And though I haven't become a big SB fan, The Light's OK with me.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

You know, at first I really hated "The Light", but after a few listens, I hated it even more.  Wink

The Barbarian.

Ace Of Wands for me.
Never liked it at first, but never mind hearing it now.

In the flesh for me, but I liked that one on the first listen. Same goes for Going for the one.

In the end the love you take is equal to the love you made...

Thanks Robert.
 
It is a lovely sunny day here, only problem is it's about freezing point!!   Hope Orlando is a bit warmer. 
 
Incidentally, a few weeks back you mentioned the "interesting" lyrics by Neal Morse in "The Water".  You're right, they don't really sit square with his religious image LOL.

I know some of these, and all I know, I like!  My faves in order:-
 
1. In The Flesh
2. Anaesthetize
3. Barbarian
4. Magnum Opus (are you sure you didn't like that one initially Robert Wink?)
5. Going For The One
 
I like The Light, but it's probably my least favourite on the album.


Hey Roger- hope all is well in the perpetually sunny England Wink

I have loved Kansas from the first time I heard them, but the first several times I heard Magnum Opus beyond "Howlin' at the Moon," I was like, "This is the weirdest stuff they've ever done.  I'll never listen to it again."

Chalk that up to another lie I've told myself.  Smile
