Re: Middle-Earth references in the Modern World

Let's not forget Led Zeppelin (no, never!)--There's "Misty Mountain Hop", for one. And in "The Battle of Evermore", they mention that "the Ringwraiths ride in black", and in "Ramble On": "...in the Darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair...but Gollum and the Evil One crept up and slipped away with her..."
(Oops, I guess I'm showing my age again...)
Not at all! I was rummaging through my dad's massive vynal collection and found some Led Zepelin albums, I listened to one, (led Zepelin 4) and i was really excited, Everyone get one of them (from wherever) and have a listen youll be surprised. Wasnt it written in the time when the slogan "Frodo Lives" was huge? I think its great that Tolkien's writing can inspire (In my opinion almost the whole album) one of the most successful bands of modern times.
