First question I have is... What album of Enya's is "The Hobbit" on? I have not seen that one.

I think you've nailed about all of them. There is also David Arkenstone who composed the music for the CD "Music Inspired by Middle Earth."
I have heard of all you have mentioned but I cannot think of anymore.
Do you think that there are more out there that could be inspired by LOTR even though it's not spelled out in the title?

I personally think of Galadriel and her dilemma with returning to The Undying Lands in Enya's song "Exile". Any opinions? (I can type the lyrics for those who don't know this song... let me know [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] )

There are also lines in other songs that make me think of Lord of the Rings. Someone mentioned "Stairway to Heaven" ("there's a feeling I get, when I look to the West...") And, even though it has nothing to do with LOTR there is a line in "99 Red Balloons" that goes "opens up one eager eye". Even if they aren't referring to LOTR directly I wonder if those lines were inspired by it?
