You're right! After 20 votes, we now have five albums all vying for first place in the poll.

For me, it's a tie between Scheherazade and Novella. All are great albums though.

I am a bit surprised that Prologue has no votes at all. Not that I think it is close to the best, but I think it is different enough than what followed to have made it on somebody's list

I'm surprised too, although Renaissance have so many good albums that it's hard to pick a favourite.

I'll give Prologue the nod. Here they were still a "rock" band without all the orchestra stuff, and I dig the psychedelic flavor of some of the tunes. The title track moves, "Spare Some Love" is prime hippy rock, and "Rajah Khan" is dope. Love Annie doing the chest-voice Eastern-tinged on-key caterwauls. Fuzzy guitar contributions on this album work for me as well.

I think someone voted for Camera Camera just to call your bluff.

I'm not so sure. Lewian & RogerThat both sounded as if they genuinely like the album.

Novella, ever since the opening of "Can You Hear Me?" blew me away.

There's "A Song for All Seasons" in the vast repertoire of Renaissance songs and I could write a "Novella" about "Scheherazade and Other Stories" too. The results of this poll and who's going to win the "Ashes Are Burning" issues which may all depend on "A Turn of the Cards".

Yeah, that probably an album that's closer to the debut (my choice) and Illusion to what will come with Ashes TBH, all I've owned in decades atre the firt three albums (the Repertoire mini-Lp).... and made a CD-r compilation from the next three

I listened to the "Prologue" album again last week, just before posting this poll, and I'm surprised it's received no votes too. It's a great album and my favourite track on the album is "Kiev". Update: "Prologue" has received one vote now.

Well, in case anyone is interested in these kinds of things, Prologue ranks fourth for over all ratings both on here and the rate your music site where it is tied with Novella(tied on both sites too). The only albums(again on both sites)that rate it higher are the three in between them.

I guess my fellow Prologue fanatics just don't do polls.
