What are some songs that you used to not care for, or never gave the chance to listen to, and now you like them after giving it a few more listens?
"If I Can't Love Her" - Beauty and the Beast
"Big, Blonde, and Beautiful" - Hairspray
"Find Your Grail" - Spamalot

How Do You Choose from Dracula
What Was A Woman to Do from DRS (Don't hate me! I really didn't enjoy it at first, I dunno)
The Scarlet Pimpernel from The Scarlet Pimpernel (but only in moderation)
on the other end of the spectrum,
I used to LOVE Gethsemene (JCS), Memory (CATS) and all of Wicked and now if I hear them one more time I just might hurl. Okay, there are actually a lot more in this category... hmm...

Sit Down, You're Rockin' The Boat-Guys and Dolls
I bought the Broadway Treasures II DVD and watched the Guys and Dolls performance, which got me to play it non-stop for a while.

"Wick" from The Secret Garden
Our HS did a production of this, and my friends who were in the pit sang it so much that it drove me insane and I hated the song after that. But I recently rediscovered the cast album and now I really like this song. It's good in small doses, I guess.

The night that Goldman Spoke and He Wanted to Say from Ragtime. I hated them at first, but, now, they are my favorite songs in the whole show...And "What a Game". Didn't like that one either, but now, I love it.

If I can't love her-beauty and beast.
when I listened to the cast recording, I didn't like the song at all. I only began to love it after listening to James Barbour's singing. 1000 times better than Terrence Mann.

Everything from Little Women...everything that I thought was painfully lame (and still do...) has now grown on me and I love it! Too bad it's closed now.

At first i hated everything Marissa Jaret Winokur sang in 'Hairspray', just because her voice drove me crazy. But she and the music grew on me over the weeks, and now 'Hairspray' is one of my favorite, just-for-fun musicals.
And i concur with the Sondheim statement. That took some adjusting, but now I have found my master to emulate and look up to in writing.

Most of Light in the Piazza.
Because I was stubborn and didn't really give it the time to warm up to me.
Me, I like to laugh.
Me, I like to love.
