Inspired by Sam:
LOTR characters as sixties/seventies bands bc why not?
LOTR characters as sixties/seventies bands bc why not?
Frodo Baggins-The Beatles: a classic feel for a classic character.
Samwise Gamgee-Peter, Paul and Mary: he just has that country/cottage core vibe I associate with these types of groups. An Alternative would be John Denver.
Pippin and Merry-The Monkees: they are fun, often seen as a “back up” for Frodo and Sam but are so so not. Underestimated CONSTANTLY they have a power all their own.
Boromir-The Who: he’s raw and tough but also classic and sophisticated.
Faramir-The Kinks: Faramir was hard bc I wanted his to be similar to Boromir but also feel different. So I settled on the British sound of The Kinks. Very similar to The Who in a lot of respects but also it’s own style and feel.
Aragorn-Led Zeppelin/Fleetwood Mac: Aragorn is a soft character with a hardcore personality. As such he fits the tone of these groups EXCEEDINGLY WELL. Thank you Sam for bringing this to my attention.
Legolas-Queen: I will not elaborate. He just fits Queen.
Gimli-The Doors: I wanted Gimli’s to be similar to Legolas in “out there energy” but feel different too. The Doors are a unique group. They do a lot of odd songs but at their core is a solid rock and roll foundation.
Gandalf-Johnny Cash: his energy is old, has seen much in his time and is a rarity but also well known.
Sarumon-Elvis: same feel as Johnny Cash but younger and better known.
Eye of Sauron-The Rolling Stones: hardcore, scary and definitely problematic.
Arwen-Stevie Nicks: yes I know this goes directly with Aragorn and it’s on purpose. My two queens as front runners to their men 
please yes
please yes
Galadriel-Janis Joplin: when thinking about my love, Galadriel I needed something to go with her fearsome, terrifying nature and the gentleness with which she treated Gandalf.
Janis Joplin exuded power, a calm but resonant energy. So this fits perfectly.

Eowyn-Joan Jett: a badass woman musician for a badass woman warrior.
Bilbo Baggins-Herman’s Hermits: he has the more “adult” nature of Frodo’s personality.
Herman’s Hermits felt very much like the Beatles in their heyday but far more clean cut and they remained that way the entire time they were a group.

Gollum-AC/DC: I said what I said.
