Hugs:
I cannot believe that no one has mentioned Blind Guardian!  Nightfall in Middle Earth is an amazing album about the Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkein (and sons) book about everything that happened pre-Hobbit in middle earth from the beginning of the Gods.

Johnny C:

--- Quote ---I got a 20 sider on call
dressed up and ready to roll
Get up and choose alignment
dressed up and ready to roll
Midnight, torchlight down in the haunted cave
Get some platinum the D.M. will turn the page

Check out my thief he's got the black shield
dressed up and ready to roll
Fan out to scope that fortress
dressed up and ready to roll
Lawful, evil a moral catastrophe
Half-orc, full-dork; the myth and reality

We may not know any girls
But we got graph paper guiding our way
We got confusion, delusion
And all of Friday night to kill

Pick up the phone the pizza's still late
dressed up and ready to roll
We'll try to hide from Cyclops
dressed up and ready to roll
Midnight, torchlight down in the haunted cave
Get some platinum the D.M. will turn the page

We may not know any girls
But we got graph paper guiding our way
We got confusion, delusion
And all of Friday night to kill

That was by far the best time that we ever had

Get to the tavern have a few beers
dressed up and ready to roll
Pick up an Elven bar whore
dressed up and ready to roll

We may not know any girls
But we got graph paper guiding our way
We got confusion, delusion
And all of Friday night to kill

That was by far the best time that we ever had

Canadian pop-punks Flashlight Brown, with "Ready To Roll," their ode to late-night D&D sessions.

We did have a supergroup thread a while back (I opened it, so I remember), but it didn't last too long.

And Khar's first list is for the win.

Scytale:
Here's the bands I'd reccomend with fantasy or mythological themes and their respective genres. Just about all these are metal, don't really now of another genre that has embraced fantasy as strongly.
