Woohoo! In a way I'm glad to see Renaissance's Scheherazade & Other Stories finally get into the top 100. It's my favorite album of the '70s.

| Nice. It's a fantastic album, in my top 10. In my opinion it perfects their already amazing sound and never has a weak moment. |

Ocean Gypsy is one of the best songs ever written. The album deserves to be in the top 10 just for that one song! ------------- [IMG]http://www.herring.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/DRMkillb.JPG"> http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4816930.stm - Right the Copyright Wrongs (Bill Thompson's BBC blog - essential reading!) |

It's a pretty good album, but I agree that Trip to the Fair isn't the best... and I'm not a big fan of Haslam's voice, it can get fairly nasal at times and she (gasp) sings out of tune once or twice in Song of Scheherazade. But its a good album and my fav by them ------------- I am but a servant of the mighty Fripp, the sound of whose loins shall forever be upon the tongues of his followers. |

Listen to Song of Scheherazade, and don't cry or feel the urge to cry at least once. I dare you. |

I haven't ever felt the urge to cry while listening; now where's my money?

| Excellent album, but not as good as 'Ashes are Buring' imo. |

It's my favorite Renaissance album. Superb, charming, masterliness. -------------

I still stay with Live at Carnegie Hall, their best album IMHO, but still Sheherezade is a top 20 or 30 album.

| While it is a hugely ambitious album with some superb musicianship and should be applauded for that, this has never quite been my favourite Renaissance album. I personally prefer the more accessible 'Ashes Are Burning' and 'Turn Of The Cards', though I still like 'Scheherazade', yeah. |

That's what I wanted to say as well.
