I just finished Tony Visconti's audiobiography where he talks a lot about Steve Peregrin Took, the pecussion half of T Rex. Now THAT might be the most Tolkien band member name in rock history. Wikipedia says he took that name for himself in homage to The Hobbit.
Re: The Nimoy song about Bilbo Baggins...I had never heard of this until I saw the excellent documentary about him that his son Adam did a few years ago.
I've had some heavy metal songs in my YT mix go through that had Tolkien references, but I can't think of any one of them right now. Wind Rose might come close.
Kinda off topic: Mississippi Bones' "Jade Fire" is all about the number one movie in the universe "Big Trouble In Little China".

Thanks for recommending another great Mississippi Bones track, Robert!
I think Blind Guardian's Nightfall in Middle-Earth is the most all-in Tolkien album I've listened to.
I don't remember if that one is on my playlist, I will give it a close listen! Thanks!
