Blind Guardian's 'Nightfall in Middle Earth' is probably the best Tolkien-inspired music, its an entire album telling the story of the Silmarillion through music. They also have some other songs on other albums, one of which is called "Lord of the Rings." http://www.blind-guardian.com/ ###### From: "aelfwina" Newsgroups: rec.arts.books.tolkien Subject: Re: Songs about LotR not associated with the films Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2005 18:49:12 -0600 Organization: Posted via Supernews, http://www.supernews.com Message-ID: <111stugj07tds89@corp.supernews.com> References: <1109272473.978089.276340@l41g2000cwc.googlegroups.com> X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2900.2180 X-RFC2646: Format=Flowed; Original X-Complaints-To: abuse@supernews.com Lines: 9 Path: nightfall.franklin.ch!news1.ethz.ch!news-zh.switch.ch!switch.ch!news.imp.ch!news.imp.ch!newsfeed.stueberl.de!logbridge.uoregon.edu!newsfeed.stanford.edu!sn-xit-03!sn-xit-08!sn-post-01!supernews.com!corp.supernews.com!not-for-mail Xref: nightfall.franklin.ch rec.arts.books.tolkien:169629 Ellen Kushner's public radio program "Sound & Spirit" once did a program of Tolkien inspired music.

You can listen to "Dwarf and Orc" and almost feel like you're sitting in the Prancing Pony. :) --cd
