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!
