For me it was the maps and appendices in The Lord of the Rings that first got me on the hook. I randomly stumbled upon the drat thing in my grandma's bookshelf when I was 10 or 11 and had no idea that such an apparently deep constructed world might exist. (Of course I was already the kind of kid who could spend all afternoon reading an encyclopedia.)

Listening to Blind Guardian is what got my mom into Tolkien, and she gave me a copy of The Silmarillion after we went to see The Hobbit Well if we're doing "music inspired by Tolkien" you cannot really escape http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summoning_(band). There's a lot of slightly (or not so slightly) cheesy metal which draws inspiration from Tolkien but these guys take it a bit further -- an extensive discography (the seventh full-length album is due out this year, eighteen years after the first) which is very nearly all-Tolkien, all the time. As one might guess from album titles such as "Lugburz" or "Dol Guldur". Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD5LDua40i8 Groke fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Feb 5, 2013 |
