SUCH a hard poll for me. I had to go with Mother Russia because of that middle section that is the purest example of musical beauty for me. But I think that Day of the Dreamer, A Song for All Seasons, and Midas Man are all absolutely superb and the others are all at least very good, even Jeckyll and Hyde.
ps - Black Flame is also superb

Thank God, Cold is Being was not included, so I voted for Mother Russia.
But it is a difficult Poll anyway. Many great songs! |

"Trip to the Fair" and "Can You Hear Me?" are my faves.

All great songs. I have been listening to Renaissance for 40 years now. My vote went to Running Hard, which defines their sound more than any of the others.

Went with Day of the Dreamer. Had Things I Don't Understand and Trip to the Fair been included, would have been a tougher choice for me.

I tried to find a reason not to vote for the latter epic as I like the rest of the songs (except Ocean Gypsy is just a tad too much on the musical-sounding side to my tastes - would be from one of the better musicals ever made though) and love Vultures, Prologue + Running Hard. But my honest vote has got to be for the wondrous epic already comfortably ahead of the rest. -A personal favorite not in any of the four Renaissance-polls is Touching Once (Is So Hard To Keep)... and seemingly one of the few that considers their first and only sidelong Song of Scheherazade not all that successful as a whole.

I love Touching Once too. Both the studio cut and the wonderful performance in the Albert Hall concert. And yeah, don't like Scheherazade all that much. I prefer the 'other stories'. |

I'm not sure if it's so easily any more, but I guess it might still be the one. However, Ashes are Burning and Scheherazade are just so gorgeous too. |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
