| My favorite one is Song for Scheherazade, but Ashes are burning and Mother Russia are also astonishing and, to me, very close to Scheherazade. |

| Ashes are burning by a whisker to Scheherazade. Andy Powell's guitar work in the studio version of the song is the icing on the cake. |

Running Hard. In fact, I like all songs from Turn of the Cards and A Trip to the Fair almost equally. -------------

I used to picture a perfect melody in my head. Then I heard it on Opening Up, so that's obviously the most perfect song ever written. Hence I cannot vote on this...

I went for Vultures, perhaps not their best, but I found the lyrics rather moving.

No question: "Trip to the Fair"! It is one of the most eerie, haunting songs ever made! Still freaks my bothers and grown daughters out every time I play it! ------------- Drew Fisher, Second Cloud on the Left Farm La Farge, Wisconsin |

| It was a toss up for me between Mother Russia and Trip to the Fair. Mother Russia won, but only just. Great songs all though (Vultures, not so much). |

Very hard choice! Went for "Ocean gypsy", I never appreciated the full beauty of that song until I head the Blackmore's Night cover. ------------- ProgArchives.com The Ultimate Progressive Rock Music Discography, Reviews database and Forum. |

Me too, but I voted for Ashes, mainly due to the wonderful chorus. This was the song that first got me into Renaissance (thanks to Blacksword!). ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/chopper777/?chartstyle=LiPe2" rel="nofollow">

| I love each and every song from Prologue through Seasons but I'd have to say that Can You Understand gets my vote (although as a new member I can't actually vote!) That nifty counterpoint with the repeating bass motif gets me every time. |
