Dammit, I wuz scooped!

"My energy is spent at last
And my armor is destroyed"

i.e., my power points are gone and I can't manifest inertial armor.

Fire of Unknown Origin is still my favorite BoC album, not least in part due to Veteran

The Trees - Rush

Lords of Thunder - Rhapsody of Fire

Holy Diver - Dio

Don't Talk to Strangers - Dio

Turn To Stone, Electric Light Orchestra -- about an unfortunate encounter with a medusa.

A little more seriously...

Boy Blue, also by Electric Light Orchestra -- about a conquering hero returning to his home town.

What IS Holy Diver about anyways?

The Trees - Rush

Lords of Thunder - Rhapsody of Fire

Holy Diver - Dio

Don't Talk to Strangers - Dio

You could pin it down to just two Dio songs?
His 80s stuff was practically a D&D soundtrack!

Some more entries...

Ramble On - Led Zeppelin. It even mentions Mordor and Gollum!
Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin. Barbarians from the North!
Gallow's Pole - Led Zeppelin (although do yourself a favor and listen to Leadbelly's Gallis Pole). The perfect theme for a rascally Bard.

Any Manowar album. Pretty much the entire albums. Just put one on and let it play!

Breaking The Law - Judas Priest. The Thieves' Guild anthem. Although I think he's actually talking about breaking the English sodomy laws... In my campaign I once had a bard singing this on a lute in a brothel.

Invaders - Iron Maiden. MORE barbarians from the North!

Crusader - Saxon. Paladins can rock too!

The Wizard - Black Sabbath. Obvious!

The whole 80's metal scene was deeply intertwined with D&D. There was a thread on that a month back.

The Boys are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy
