this is really a tester poll to see if people vote for who they know and not so much who is better , yes it is a silly poll both these bands names shouldn`t come up in the same sentence but when I thought of it I smiled and couldn`t help myself .

Nightwish, certainly...
I have seen Iona, and they put on a good show, but I couldn't do a whole album.... ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |

When Iona can come up with something as moving as Ghost Love Score, I will vote for them.

I like Nightwish quite a lot (except Once), but I don't know Iona at all - so I won't vote.
However, it did bother me that I didn't know (or couldn't remember) Iona - after all a UK based Celtic Prog-Folk band should have crossed my musical radar at some point in the past 18 years and I haven't exactly had my head stuck in a bucket or anything. Suitably perplexed, I thought I'd check them out...
Based upon the three tracks on Iona's PA page and the four on their MySpace, my initial reaction is - yeuch! that's not celtic prog-folk, that's just bland, uninspired, insipid mush, and to be honest only one song had any celtic vibe at all (okay that track - Wave After Wave was pretty good by comparison to the others). Capercaillie, Runrig, (or even Bluehorses) they certainly ain't, I kind of wonder if they had ever heard of Tír na Nôg or Horslips. They might be okay live in a dark
 So I guess that answers that then - I probably have heard of them before and just deleted them from memory, as I will probably do again soon.(I still won't vote in this poll though, but Nightwish ftw
 )------------- What? |

They did...twice...no, three times....no, four times! The Woven Cord, The Book Of Kells, Beyond These Shores, and The Circling Hour. Just about everything they do is emotionally charged and moving. E -------------

Nightwish, at least until the leaving of Tarja.
We'll have to wait and see how it turns out to be now, but I am pretty sure Mr. Holopainen knew what he was doing and Nightwish will still be better then Epica, Iona and (insert band name here). |
