In the Zep book Hammer of the Gods it states that he was very much interested in fantasy and celtic literature around that time, as were many people, and as such, these influences came out in his lyrics. Though, I don't see how he could deny the influence of Lord of the Rings in songs such as Ramble On, which mentions Gollum and Mordor, and Misty Mountain Hop.
I also heard that Robert Plant denied that STH was about Tolkien's work. But somehow I think that maybe it had a little teeny influence...

That's an awesome link, and I was going to mention the song 'Ramble On', but you got to it first. (Most likely because you were a member before me.. )

A lot of songs from Evanescence's 'Origin' CD reminds me of something about Middle-earth.
