Not just Misty Mountain Hop, either, warrnerd. Lots of others.
And has anyone ever read "The Sword of Shannara?"

Sword of Shannara by Terry Brooks is actually not that bad of a book, if you don't mind that most of the plot is a rip-off of LOTR. (Just my oppinion.) I believe I read somewhere on a forum, that he was comissioned by the publisher to write a LOTR type book, but then again I could have been dreaming.

My main purpose of this thread was to see where other Tolkien references have been found in literature or other things (such as my Stephen King example), not if a certain book was a copy/very similiar to LotR..

LOTR's in music too (not just the soundtracks, either)
I'll help get it started again, Imladris!
I've listened to some Led Zeppelin songs that have had bits of LOTR referances in them. Just read the lyrics or really listen to those old rock songs from the 60's; you'll see what I mean. Bob Dylan also makes references to Tolkien in one of his songs: The times will be changing the infinate plotting, The people in power must finally fail, Like bloodthirsty orcs today they are strutting, It can't last forever, Hope will prevail...

Thank you Silent Sam....I never noticed those before.
I just read That Hideous Strength some weeks ago. It is constantly referring to Numenor and the True West. Very awesome.

i remember hearing on one of those behind the scenes shows that tolkien himself based the Rohirrim on the Vikings. think about it, master of horses the Rohirrim are, masters of ships the Vikings were.
