Tolkien to Zeppelin connections

ItalianLegolas · 01-17-2005, 08:59 PM

I'm sure some of you have heard about some of the songs of Led Zeppelin, most notably "Ramble On", "The Battle of Evermore", and "Misty Mountain Hop" (don't have ot dig very deep to find a connection there) so I was wondering, do you guys think that Zeppelin was actually referencing Tolkiens's works, or were they just using little bits of his books to get their message out??

Here's a site that I found that explains a couple of ideas, http://www.geocities.com/Athens/2406/
