Singers, composers, etc.?

Is there a category for singers and/or composers who have sung or written music related to Middle-earth? I'm thinking not only of people like Howard Shore, Enya, Annie Lennox and such, but also Donald Swann, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant, and even Glenn Yarbrough. (Admit it, we've all got a soft spot for "Frodo of the Nine Fingers".) Could they go in this category, or in another category related to this one? —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 06:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The category def. is music "related to and inspired by" the Tolkien stories, so I would think that Enya's Lothlórien from Shepherd Moons would belong here, while the new age group Shadowfax would not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.148.235.6 (talk) 17:32, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are many bands that have named themselves after places and characters in Middle Earth, including Amon Amarth, Carach Angren, Gorgoroth, etc. It would be rather neat to have a comprehensive list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.61.72.162 (talk) 10:21, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
