Middle-Earth references in the Modern World

[Encaitare]

'Melodic' and 'metal' do not belong in the same sentence.

Lol... sometimes they do! You guys really should check out the Blind Guardian album, though. My signature has a sample of the lyrics.

Wasnt it [Led Zeppelin 4] written in the time when the slogan "Frodo Lives" was huge?

Yup, I'm looking for a shirt with that on it but I can only find them online I'm looking for Led Zep album with most, if not all, of the LotR related songs. Can anyone tell me if they have a "best of" album with those songs?

Plus, the band Nightwish makes some LotR references in a couple of songs, mentioning Elbereth, Lorien, and the Grey Havens. Most of the members (maybe all, I don't remember right now) say that LotR is one of their favorite books and influences.

I got a card for my birthday that said

Front: Birthday greetings from Gandalf!

Inside: You actually got sort of excited, didn't you? God, you're such a geek!

Back: Get a life!

and another one with an Aragornish looking guy on it, holding what could be a Palantir. But he also had a seemingly random staff, so I'm not sure if it could be considered a real-life example or not.
