Led Zepplin songs are a good example. There are many that are dedicaded or about MiddleEarth.
And I believe that in Dungeons and Dragon are many words (names) that are taken from Tolkiens lenguages. For example mithril, that also exists in the Frogotten Realms; Dryaden, who live in the forests and sound like druadan (or druedain) (but they have nothing to do with the druedain, exept that they live in the forests).
And thers also ELminster who lives in the STARhills (don´t know if it is the original name)...
But I think I´m maybe just a bit crazy and I almost see everywehere some things that could be inspiered by LOTR. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
