LOTRish Music!

[Lanniae of the Axe]

Although many don't realise it, there's a lot of it out there!

Enya wrote many songs about LOTR even BEFORE she got the job for the movies! "The Hobbit" and "Lothlorien" being two famous ones, although they have no lyrics.

Also, through my searchings on the internet, I've found a heavy metal/rock group called Blind Guardian that did (does?) a lot of music about middle-earth, mostly from the Silmarillion, but they did have a song titled "The Lord of the Rings" and one called "The Hobbit". Really cool actually!

Then Loreena McKennit has an instrumental song titled "Gandalf" (I think).

And who can forget Led Zepplin?? With Misty Mountain Hop and Ramble On, oldies rock doesn't sound so old!!!

Also found some miscelanious songs by a few artists:

* "Lords of the Ring" by Styx

* "Hobbit on the Rocks" by Toad the Wet Sprocket (???)

* ...and the "Ballad of Bilbo Baggins!!"

So, any other LOTR music you guys know of?? I would dearly love to hear some more!!! Are there any other artists we know of that write songs about Middle Earth and such?? Even if you want to discuss or ask questions about some of the music I've already listed, I'd greatly appreciate it! Music!
