Interesting poll this one, Robert.
 
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.

Gentle Giant- "Proclamation". I love that song, the song keeps changing and it sounds perfect to me.

ELP's the Barbarian, has got to be my most listened to song of all time.  It's what helped me to really get into prog.  To have listened to it as many times as I have and not get tired of it is the definition of classic.  It's easily the most intense song on the list and I love intensity.(thanks in large part to Mr. Palmer)

I think I was the same with "Anesthetize". The first time I heard it, I was like "I don't see all the hype about this song".
 
Then I heard it again. OMG IT WAS AWESOME!
 
And I haven't heard enough on this list to say much.

The question isn't "which of these if any did you not like at first but now like?", it's, "These are songs I didn't like at first but now I do... which is your favorite?" So yeah, I've always loved The Light by SB, that's my choice.

I voted for Proclamation. I used to hate Gentle Giant, but now I really love them.

In fact I like all of these except Take the veil Cerpin Taxt which I hated on first listening and it went downhill from there. If anyone ever plays it to me again I will have to kill them.

Anesthetize is one of my top 3 songs of all time, so I have to go with it.

The Barbarian, a fine song even if it is a semi-ripoff of Bartok.  I've given up on APP.

Anesthetize is the best one the list, but many of the choices I love and always have.

Going for the One. I love the slide guitar.

That is a very notable composition. Clap

Proclamation was a huge contender for my choice as well. This was a good poll.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

"take the veil..." takes the cake; it's just an awesome song, probably their best.

I haven't heard the Kansas, Steve Hackett, or Porcupine Tree ones yet. All the other ones I had absolutely no problem getting into at the get go. Although now I don't like The Mars Volta at all, so were the question "which of these initially-liked song do you not like now?" my vote would go to Take the veil Cerpin Taxt.
