Ever hear a song that makes you think of D&D?

[Lasher Dragon]

Every single time I hear "Conflict" by Disturbed, I can't help but think of Rangers... specifically my halfling rogue/ranger. The whole song seems tailor-made for D&D Rangers & their favored enemies. "Kill You" by Eminem also reminds me of Tweaky Bushhopper (that's his name)

Have any specific songs that make you daydream about D&D?

Also, does it crack anyone else up that a Ranger really seems similar to some backwoods racist? Makes me think of Deliverance
I joke sometimes that Tweaky is a 6th level Rogue/6th level Racist.

disclaimer: I am by no means racist myself - it would be kinda hard considering I am a mutt myself.

I thought of shilsen's infamous paladin this morning when I heard ZZ Top's "Woke Up With Wood" on the way in to work.

There was a song in the early 1980s by the Alan Parsons project that talked about slaying dragons, silver turning to gold and water changing to cherry wine that always felt very D&D. Not a GREAT game of D&D, but D&D nonetheless.

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

Sure, all the time. Several Iron Maiden songs: The Dualists, Powerslave, Number of the Beast, and a few others. There are other bands as well, but can't think of them off hand.

 

[BOZ]

umm... Led Zeppelin, Rush, and Black Sabbath?

Inumerable songs by Dio, Iron Maiden, Virgin Steele, Black Sabbath, Rhapsody, Falconer, Helloween, Nightwish, Rainbow, and especially Manowar (just to name a tiny fraction of the bands I could think of). One of the greatest adventures I ever played in was based on Manowar's "Dark Avenger". I've created adventures based on songs by these artists, as well.

"St. George and the Dragon" by Toto, "Rooms on Fire" by Stevie Nicks

LOL Die Kluge

Led Zeppelin reminds me of the Hobbit/LOTR, but not D&D... dunno why, guess I just always associated it with LOTR strongly enough to avoid also associating it with D&D.

Also a lot of songs from Blind Guardian, Within Temptation, Sonata Arctica, Hammerfall, ...

Special mentioning goes to the following:

Nightwish - End of all Hope: I can't help of thinking Planescape whenever I hear this. Fallen Angels, grand revelations and the tone ... it simply fits too well .

Within Temptation - Ice Queen: Probably just as obvious, but now with the BCCS linking DnD to The Lady of the Black Company ...

Hammerfall - Stronger than All: This is, what I imagine a group of Paladins would be like. In an entirely positive sense .
