I contemplated going for the maximum amount of Decemberists possible, but figured it's best to share the stage.

Loading... The 89.3 morning show is generally more 'miss' than 'hit,' but sometimes it works. This morning was one of those: on Fridays, they do a "Song War" where each host selects a song and plays a 15-20 second clip of it. Of note, neither host knows ahead of the clip which song the other is queuing up. The audience chooses which one they'd prefer to hear in its entirety and votes via Twitter. This morning, the selections were a bit out of leftfield for The Current.* :
A: Iron Maiden - Run To The Hills

-OR-
B: Helmet - Unsung

*I was stoked and almost pulled over to send a text to cheaptoy. Decided instead to use it for FMD!
Was going to set up a poll, but having never done so before, didn't know how to do it... so, which would be your choice? A or B?
Drop you choice and list below!
BTW, the listeners selected:

I can only imagine the staggering amount of chemical assistance that was involved in this production.

Another band leaning more towards the traditional metal side of things, hailing from Alberta. I picked up their most recent on a whim and its an all around ass kicker.

There was lot of crap that happened in 2014 related to domestic violence/harassment of women. When I sent in my letter for the end of the year Friday Music Day, I realized I had purchased a lot of music from female-fronted bands. Heavy metal has always been, and will probably always be, heavily skewing towards males, but it is starting to get much more diverse, gender-wise, these days. So, with all of the crap that happened last year, I thought I'd spend a week celebrating what that type of diversity can bring to music like this.
Up first is Nightwish, who basically made symphonic metal with a classically trained vocalist a thing.
