Time to shake things up a bit.  These are all songs I did not like the first time or two I heard them, but I really enjoy them now.  Thumbs Up

Which one do you like best?

(And no, I'm not joking about #5)

Maybe it's just me but I never got into "A Passion play".

Take The Veil for me. I liked as soon as I heard it though. I have a thing for bass jamming

From this list I like 'Anesthetize' the most, followed by 'Ace of Wands'.
'Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt' may be a bit irritating at whiles, but in general I like it.
'Going for the One' remains a matter of dislike on a four-star album.

Some of these are really good songs!

Take the Veil, however, was the first Volta song I had ever heard... and I listened to it like 7 times in a row just because it was so awesome. So I'll go with that.

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.

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

I really like "Proclamation" -- always have.  I particularly like "Just The Same / Proclamation" off Playing the Fool.

That is a very notable composition. Clap

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

Going for the One. I love the slide guitar.

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

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

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

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.
