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 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.

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)

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

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.

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

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.

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...

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

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

The Barbarian.

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...

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

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.
