Songs of our times that remind you of LOTR...

[doug*platypus]

White Flag by Dido

Every time I hear this song, I picture Aragorn coming up the Anduin in the corsair boats unfurling the standard of Arwen.

Excellent stuff, Glirdan! I love that song, and am happy you have found another dimension to it. It fits in nicely with Aragorn and his never give up attitude!

Whilst there aren't any songs I have heard that remind me of LOTR, aside from something obvious like Ramble On by Led Zep, I think that part of After the Gold Rush by Neil Young espouses the longing for the romance of medieval stories which is largely responsible for my love of Tolkien's stories:

Well I dreamed I saw the knights in armour coming
saying something about a queen
there were peasants singing
and drummers drumming
and the archer split the tree
there was a fanfare blowing to the sun
that was floating on the breeze

I also must mention May it Be by Enya. I know it was made specifically for the FOTR movie, but it just captures the essence of Frodo and his plight so beautifully. It is totally LOTR, and I hazard a guess that even Tolkien himself would have been happy with that song.
