Tolkien in modern music? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

On the album Shepherd Moon there is a song called Lothlorien and it was my favourite song. One day I asked my mom about the name and she explained about the golden wood and told me that if I wanted to know more I could read LOTR. Of course I was too young at that time ( about 7) but when I was old enough I decided to read the book and learn more about LOTR. And before that I did read the hobbit.

In general I think classical music fits LOTR better because it is a book where older cultures are involved and heavy metal is a pretty new music type.
