Actually, yes; I was listening to a U2 live EP (with a particularly good version of "Please") and the most recent Spiritualized album, "Let It Come Down" a lot at the time of the release of the first movie.

'Rivendell' on the Rush album "Fly By Night" makes me think of The Hobbit since I listened to that song once when I read through it.

There are also a couple of songs from Final Fantasy that make me think of scenes from Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion.

I don't know if I'd call Led Zeppelin "influenced" by Tolkien. Robert Plant was certainly a fan, but throwing out a few allusions (some that don't make sense) isn't exactly what I call 'influenced by.' Who met a chick in Mordor? When did Gollum and the evil one steal her?
