| Probably my favourite from each album and they have similar ratings... and titles obviously. |

Like both a lot. When for PT, well because I just saw SW in concert... ------------- He neither drank, smoked, nor rode a bicycle. Living frugally, saving his money, he died early, surrounded by greedy relatives. It was a great lesson to me -- John Barrymore |

Renaissance ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

| I really love both, but I must give the edge to Mother Russia. Haslam is just something else. |

Mother Russia crushes the lightbulb by a lightyear. That Porcupine Tree song - which isn't awful by any means reminds me why I stopped giving Opeth-albums any more chances (I never was the biggest fan but used to be mildly interested enough to have attended a couple of concerts and owning a handful of albums that I never spin). -------------

what about Iron Maiden's Mother Russia?  I haven't listened to these two songs in a while, I need to listen to them again and then vote.

Seems like another good poll although I'm quite sure Marillion would win it  It's nice to see Renaissance ahead

| Not among my absolute favourites of either band. Mother Russia is kind of too straight up with nothing much happening in the interlude that's interesting. But I'd still take it over Russia on Ice where the change from 7:30 or so ruins it for me. And even otherwise, I haven't generally been too fond of PT's longer tracks (or for that matter, the longer ones on Wilson's solo albums). I think he writes better in the 5-7 minute format. |

That interlude in Mother Russia is what made me a Renaissance fan, absolutely spine tingling

| I don't seem to like too many of their interludes to be honest. Ashes are burning, Things I don't understand, Trip to the fair, touching once, Day of the dreamer and SFAS - these are the ones I really like. Rest I can either do without or just find to be a drag (Can you hear me, but Golden Key is the worst). |

PT it is. I could never quite muster Annie's vocals so the nod to Russia On Ice was easy...does also help that the tune in question is remarkably good. I blame Chris Maitland's outstanding drumming. That ending climax duet-ting with Steven's guitar is just beautiful. You people can keep your Renaissance to yourself  ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Kindness is actually one of my favorite Renaissance songs. The lyrics, melody and emotion always drain me. Most fans dismiss it or just think it's ok. I actually think some of Jim McCarty's later work is influenced by this Camp song, as I guess Camp was influenced by McCarty and early Renaissance. It's also one of the few Renaissance studio tracks with TRON!
