Tribute To Tolkien
The guys were big fans of J.R.R. Tolkien. Don’t believe us? Just look to their lyrics. Specifically, if you listen to “Ramble On,” you hear a paraphrased version of one of his poems in the opening. Oh, also there’s the references to Gollum and Mordor in the next verse. In case you didn’t know, “Misty Mountain Hop” was a reference to the Misty Mountains in The Hobbit. In addition, their song, “The Battle of Evermore” is also full of references to both The Lord of the Rings and The Return of the King.
