@hubiex My best friend in college and I used to catch them at every opportunity back in '72 -' 74. One time we saw them at a small club in NYC (can't remember which one now) and we sat at a table right under the stage. Heaven! After the show my friend took the plastic cup that Annie had been drinking water from and made it something of a shrine in his dorm room. We referred to it as The Holy Grail.

@zygodactylexicon in the begining.

In my youth I bought this Renaissance album (and some more...). Up to now these stunning vocal harmonies give me the creeps and put tears in my eyes...

Another strong music to your heart lovely people

@sdgakatbk For me, Prologue is the best album, although that's not the general consensus.
The reason I guess is that this is the "only" classic Renaissance album that has electric guitar featured somewhat prominently. And because the song material is a bit more diverse than later period stuff. But Ashes Are Burning and Turn Of The Cards are great albums, too!

They didn't receive the props they deserved, so I agree that they are the number 1 most under rated 70's band ever. I listened to them since the 70's, but few people I know in my age group today know of them. They were played on FM progressive rock or college radio stations.

@zygodactylexicon I wonder why you would refer to Renaissance as 'underrated.' They received worldwide fame, lots of radio airplay back in the 'album rock' decade of the '70s, toured extensively, sold millions of records, etc. I think they got their rightful acclaim.
Whoa!!!...When Annie's vocals first come in!!!..and then that one harmony at 1:51...a brief spiritual orgasm, for me anyway.....It's no wonder why i've loved this band all along....I once met Annie Haslam at a King Crimson concert back in 84, on New York's westside Pier Six, she just happened to be standing directly behind me. She actually seemed glad that someone finally recognized her. Her "Annie" necklace was a dead giveaway. I was starstruck, lost all my senses..won't ever forget it.

It's Rachmaninoff's famous prelude in C# minor for piano solo (included in "Morceaux de fantasie" opus3 no.2)
