Re: Led Zeppelin & Lord of the Rings
And you think they just named the song "Misty Mountain Hop" out of luck?
Led Zeppelin did use the Lord of the Rings theme every once in a while. I suppose it was hard not to do. Considering all the weed they were smoking and whatnot...
The Lord of the Rings is an awesome book, and I'm happy that Zeppelin used themes from it in their music.
If you really want to get weird, you should check out Blind Guardian's "Nightfall In Middle-Earth."
It's a 22-song concept album based around J.R.R. Tolkien's work, 'Night Fall In Middle Earth.' (Blind Guardian is a metal band)
