A silly one is Leonard Nimoy singing The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins. It's so cute!

Ka, your avatar just reminded me of some old David Bowie songs. I've always imagined that when Elrond speaks, he sounds just like Bowie. Interestingly enough, that was before I found out that he auditioned for that very part in PJ's movies.

Within You from the Labyrinth soundtrack always makes me think of Gollum's yearning for the Ring. When Bowie and Trent Reznor did Hurt together I couldn't help thinking of Frodo's conflict with the Ring like a drug addiction. The Song of the Silent Age would be my theme for the hobbits if I were to chose a soundtrack for the books.
