January 24, 2002 — According to many people, Led Zeppelin were influenced a lot by Tolkien's Lord of the Rings. Both Page and Plant were huge fans.

Plant has commented lightly on the possibility of lyrical allusions to LOTR in his music, and even gone so far as to say that he and Jimmy Page would "play music and write songs about the Lord of the Rings."

In his lyrics, particularly those for "Ramble On" and "Battle of Evermore," Plant uses Tolkien-specific terms such as Gollum, Ringwraiths and Mordor.
