Although this web site is concerned primarily with Tolkien-inspired music, the search for Middle-earth references in songs inevitably leads to encounters with Tolkien-inspired band names and other marginalia. The discovery of such names might as well be documented. I have arranged this section more or less in the same format as the discography, boldfacing names that relate to Middle-earth. Band/album names already listed in the discography are not repeated here.
There are innumerable lacunae in this laundry list and very likely some errors as well. In many cases I am not even certain whether a given band has not recorded any Tolkien-inspired songs. If it can be shown that they have, I will naturally move them to the discography. If anyone can help fill in the blanks or offer corrections, please don't hesitate to e-mail me.

"A band from Chicago, from the the mid 70's has reformed and is currently performing with all original members. The bass player (nicknamed Bilbo) was a huge fan of Tolkien and turned on a community to Middle Earth. He was once given an F in his freshman year in high school on a book report of The Hobbit. 'Book reports on nursery stories would not cut it in high school,' he was told. By his senior year, The Hobbit was required reading. This band, originally formed in the mid 70's, parted ways, but 26 years later, destined to reform, for it was written: One of the first things done in Hobbiton, even before removal of the Old Mill, was the clearing of the Hill and Bag End, and the restoration of Bagshot Row."
