What song did you dismiss when you first heard it, but now you can't get enough of? For me it's Be Here In The Morning. When I first heard it, I almost couldn't stand it, but now it's my jam.

Hmmm....lots of them. For now I'll say All This Is That. At first I thought it was boring and now I think it's beautiful.

Love You (first time was like wtf is this sh*t, now its among my favourites!)
match point of our love - The Avalanches did a nice modification on it, It sounds very similar to Since I Left You. Great song for being from such a horrendous album!

Probably A Day in the Life of a Tree (those Jack Riley vocals are... well, sort of rough) and most of Smiley Smile.

BB85- used to think it was crap, now I think it is a pretty good comeback album.

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

Smiley versions of SMiLE songs....I used to badmouth the album to my friends, saying the usual "it pales in comparison to what SMiLE would've been."
But now, Smiley Smile is easily one of my favorite Beach Boys albums, along with Today, Pet Sounds, Wild Honey, and Friends.
However
, I
still
can't seem to into a good bulk of Summer Days/Nights. (obvious exceptions being Rhonda, California Girls, SLC, Let Him Run Wild and AYDCT)

RHONDA.
Totally. It's one of those songs you hear on oldies radio and never think about, but if you actually listen to Help Me, Rhonda, it will blow you away. The piano and electric bass on the bottom, the hooky guitars layered with vocals, it is so good. What a great arrangement.

I Know There's An Answer- the bass harmonica made it sound like Country Music to me; it put me in mind of Hee Haw and Green Acres (not that I don't love Green Acres, mind you). I just associate that sound with Country Music which I have little affinity for. I do love the song now though, as I love the rest of Pet Sounds.

I'd agree with this - As much as I dislike that tour and the performances on the whole, the Paramount 1993 boxset show highlighted how pretty it is. I think it's the drone aspect, so much of that song hangs on one bass note. Which can feel boring, but when it clicks the whole thing suddenly shifts round that drone and it feels great.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

probably Wild Honey. Carl's voice seemed strained and a little jarring at first. Very un-Beach Boys.
Now it just blows my mind every time. BAD. ASS.

I would say as albums Friends and So Tough really grew on me over time, POB too. On the other hand everything else (bar Dennis' stiff and maybe a dozen other songs)) post 1974 has really gotten worse and worse to me. I do still like TLOS and BWPS but things like MIU, 15 Big Ones, or BW 88 really sound a lot worse to me now.

Aren't You Glad - didn't like this song at all for awhile until I got Live In London - the live version is far better than the recorded version IMO.

There are many, but here's a few notable ones:
Grown on me the MOST:
All This Is That
- I thought it was weird and silly when I first heard it in the early 90's. Then I grew to like it somewhat. Then a decade later it was in my top ten, then top five. Now it has been my favorite BB song for the past year or so.
Surf's Up -
- I first heard this on vinyl on a 70s compilation my dad had, before I had most of the 70's BB albums. I wasn't ready for it. Even when I did collect the 70's albums, I wasn't very into it. Now I get goosebumps singing it in the car. It hits a certain nerve with me...I just connect with it.
Took the LONGEST to grow on me:
Steamboat
- I truly never heard the appeal of this song until maybe about 2010 or so, and I first heard it around 1994 or so. Now I feel like I've discovered a new song! Great stuff.
ALBUM that has grown on me the most:
Surf's Up
- Initially thought it was too dark for my taste, now I'd say at least 3 songs on there are some of my all time favorites...Surf's Up, Disney Girls, Feel Flows.
