Poll closed - I believe Sheher won it on popularity alone/

Scheherazade and Ashes the best, Turn is ok. But Prologue, IMHO, is really underrated.

Shame that Prologue hadn't received any vot. Chose it just for honour this great album. It's my dearest one thugh I belive that Turn of the Cards is the most representative of waht is Renaissance.

Bach, Ma, Bros, Déia, Dante.

I think Novella is the most underrated.

I highly doubt they would pip your vote the other way. ![]()
But maybe just good enough to be the best one in a lot of people's books. Personally, as a prog fan I do like some amount of compositional intrigue so I am slightly partial these days to Novella. My favourite used to be Cards for a long time. I wouldn't recommend Novella as a starter album though, but it's probably Renaissance at their best. |

The only album I've heard after 'Song for all seasons' is 'The other woman' so I'll not vote.
Ashes are Burning is my favourite, closely followed by Scheherazade and Prologue. |

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I have everything from debut to Camera camera and nothing else. I find myself with the majority here with Turn of the cards as a close second.

Between Novella and Scheherazade. Becomes a question of which I mind less between the not so alluring title track of Scheherazade and the boring middle section of Can You Hear Me. I will pick the latter because it only lasts a few minutes and because Novella also has my favourite Renaissance song, Touching Once! But I really like the version on the Royal Albert Hall live album more than the studio version.

Mother Russia is the tune which introduced me to Renaissance - and I don't think they've done anything to top it (though many to equal it!) so ... I'll go with Turn Of The Cards.
[Hard to pass up Scheherazade though ...] |
