Gryphon song vs Renaissance song

Renessance is not a lesser known band probably and proudly among the top 8 prog bands along with King Crimson, Genesis, Yes, Emerson Lake & Palmers, Pink Floyd, Gentle Giant and Renessance, i would probably put Renessance above, both Camel, Gentle Gaint in terms of fame and position in prog and also as one of the two famous offsprings of the Yardbirds, the other being the lesser known act Led Zeppelin. ,  Gryphon on the other hand is pretty obscure and exotic! Gryphon to me is the Ying to and Univerz Zero the Yang in chamber music inspired rock. 

Like both bands and songs.....I'll go with Renaissance this time.

Ashes are Burning, a true classic.

Easy - Renaissance for me.  Try as I might I could never get into Gryphon, which on paper seemed like the perfect band for me

I very rarely go against the bold one but Ashes are Burning this time.

I have to say that Spring Song is the best from Treason (my least listened to Gryphon LP), so Ashes is the 'better' track for me.
Sometimes I do feel that Treason is overlooked within the Gryphon discography. It's very good overall, but is missing an element of 'magic' their previous albums contain.
Renaissance on the other hand, heck, I dig Time Line a lot, and any album before that is superior, so there you go.
Even the first 2 Annie-less albums are a bit special to me.
There's no doubt that Ashes was going to take the cake in this poll.

Forgot Van der Graaf Generator, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd which are also top progressive groups.

The Gryphon.......

Might have backed Spring Song against the much celebrated Scheherazade or Mother Russia (which I am personally not overly fond of).  But Ashes are Burning is probably my favourite track of theirs or at least one of them along side Trip to the fair and Touching Once.
