[QUOTE="cybertalus, post: 2150254, member: 4400"] Irish Traditionals are about as non-metal as you can get. There are some that are D&D-ish, but I've never taken an adventure from them. [i][url=http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyrics/blackv.html]The Black Velvet Band[/url][/i] (about a guy from Belfast who gets sent off to Van Diemen's Land after a pretty pickpocket sets him up*), [i][url=http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyrics/wildrovr.html]The Wild Rover[/url][/i] (about a young man who's been out in the world making his fortune, and comes home rich), [i][url=http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyrics/dick_darby.html]The Cobbler[/url][/i] (about a travelling, rabble-rousing cobbler who gets sick of his nagging wife and drowns her), and [i][url=http://www.chivalry.com/cantaria/lyrics/risingmoon.html]Rising of the Moon[/url][/i] (about one of the Irish uprisings against the English, but it mentions pikes quite a bit, so it's got that D&D flavor going on) are the best ones that spring to mind. And truth be told, aside from Led Zeppelin, I'm not into anything that could be remotely considered metal. Though many of my favorites seldom write D&D-able lyrics. Headphones are your friend. Unless you work the phones, then hopefully the music you get stuck in your head is the good stuff. I'll confess to not being able to stand ELO. Aside from the Willburys, I really prefer Jeff Lynne as a producer to him as a writer or performer. I never managed to get into Allen Parsons or much other Prog Rock. A little Rush, two King Crimson CDs (and the other one, [i]In the Wake of Poseidon[/i], is horrible), and Tull's [i]Thick as a Brick[/i] make up my entire Prog Rock collection. Unless Pink Floyd/Roger Waters count, then it just about doubles. [size=1]*I almost had my rogue PC do this to another PC once when the party was being agonizingly slow to get together, and it was totally song-inspired. Instead my PC got the guy's money pouch, dropped it on the floor when he wasn't looking, and then asked him if he'd dropped it, which was enough to get things rolling finally.[/size] [/QUOTE]
