Some Renaissance Songs

I would have included "Black Flame" and pre-Haslam music, but of course it's your poll. I don't remember all of these, so I'll have to come back to the poll once I refresh my memory. But from memory, Prologue maybe, or Mother Russia, the latter probably. I have now listened to enough and decide to vote for Mother Russia.

I feel exactly the same on all points.

You could always do a part two and three, there's plenty of Renaissance to love. :)

Running Hard is my overall favourite Renaissance song.

I agree - a great track - it's grown to be my favourite - it does conjure up that eerie, dreaminess and surreal nature of the carnival.

Out of those listed, I think Ocean Gypsy just edges Mother Russia. Practically oozes with melancholy.

Mother Russia from the list but as several have mentioned Black Flame and also A Trip To The Fair.

Prologue has that speedy groove and a bit of acid rock guitar. I dig.

I've always had a soft spot for this band; I love their arrangements, instrumentation, vocals, and superb orchestration, so it's hard to pick one of this list. I'll vote for "Day of the Dreamer", but any of them that wins is quite fine with me.

Kings and Queens.  The only Renaissance that mattered had Keith and Jane Relf.

Black Flame and Cold is Being would also be at the top of my list, but I voted for Ocean Gypsy.
