Bill Bailey’s The Leg of Time:
That would be us, as well (also, Sisters of Mercy, Nick Cave and Bauhaus) - but the OP wanted ones lyrically/thematically related, and not a lot of Smiths songs are:D.
I think Bauhaus’ Hollow Hills definitely fits, though.
The Cure’s A Forest does too
Fields of the Nephilim is more suited to Call of Cthulhu than D’nD 
Styx got a lot of play, as I recall.
If you have Bauhaus, you have to have Party of the First Part.
Definitely!
Castle Walls fits perfectly.
Lords of the Ring came out around the time the Bakshi brothers put out their animated LOTR but James Young said he was just making up a song and his lyrics have nothing to do with the Tolkein work.
Man of Miracles would work well, but that hails from before they got into mainstream pop.
A friend of mine and I ran two completely separate campaigns (a couple years apart) based on our different interpretations of Kansas’ Point of Know Return.
Add to the Dio list: Dream Evil and Stargazer; possibly *Kill the King. *Definitely Gates of Babylon.
Oddly, I always associated Lords Of The Ring with the Green Lantern Corps.
Because the singularity of the One True Ring is an essential point.
Yeah, I’m DCD as well. Throw in some Loreena McKinnit for the Celtic bits, some Phillip Glass Akhnaten for the dwarves, some Bauhaus (“Bela Lugosi’s Dead” if you want some hipster irony for your vampire adventure, e.g.), some Siouxsie and the Banshees with “Cities in Dust” etc. for yer post-apocalyptic fun times, and now you’ve got a gothgeek party going on!
You’ve got to have AC/DC “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap”.
When I was about eleven years old and first heard this song, I found it odd when the mention “contracts.” The whole song is about nasty, noisy street hoodlums … and then it switches to men in business suits quietly discussing some contract?
Obviously, I wasn’t aware of the mafia meaning of the word.
Nightwish, “Elvenpath”. [Do have to giggle a bit when the lead singer Tarja Turunen, whose 1st language is NOT English, calls it the “Elvenbath”…]
All three Ritchie Blackmore “Rainbow” albums with Ronnie James Dio.
