Im also a huge blind guardian fan. If anyone was looking to just download a few songs ME related, id suggest
- Lord of the rings (studio and live version) - The Bard's Song (there are two versions, one called in the forest the other called the hobbit ) IN the forest is a mellow song with an incredible guitar lick for the intro! A very stairway- medieval feel to it - Nightfall (one of my favorites by far) - The curse of Feanor - The Iron Hills Most of the time you find prog metal bands who sing about these types of stories/ mythology. Listen to BG first, and if you're into it, I suggest trying these other bands: -Rhapsody -Hammerfall -Kamelot -Symphony X (very cool and musical!) -Virgin Steel And There is another band I've seen named "Isengard." For a long time now ive been searching for clips of their music, and trying to dl their songs, to no avail. So if anyone can get a hold of some of this music please give me a review on how they are! thanks!

The dream pop/shoegaze band Malory does a slow, hazy version of 'The Road Goes Ever On and On' - definitely worth a listen if you're having trouble sleeping.

The band "Hobbit" is fun. More or less seventies/ eighties style, Yes/ Foreigner/ Survivor...

Glass Hammer basically set ther songs in Middle-earth.
 One album deals with Aragron's journeys, another is a concert in Bree, etc.

I personally don't think heavy metal suits Lor of the Rings.( Ducks at tomatoes being thrown)
I think classical and celtic types of music fit better, plus Enya. Because of Enya I got to learn about LOTR in the first place.

Lathriel--
Really!  You learned about Tolkien from Enya? That's fascinating! What song? What drew you? What were your first impressions? Tell me what the music did that brought you to Middle-Earth, I'm all ears... --mark12_30

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.
