Celebrating the release of "The Hobbit" in theaters today, Rollingstone.com has posted "Rockers Who Love 'The Lord of the Rings'", which includes the following regarding Rush:
Rush's drummer-lyricist Neil Peart has always been a voracious reader. He must have worked his way towards The Lord of the Rings
by the mid-1970s, because 1975's "Rivendell" was named after the great
Elven city where Elrond dwelt. The following year, Peart wrote "The
Necromancer" – which was Gandalf's name for Sauron in The Hobbit. - RollingStone.com, December 14, 2012
In addition, UltimateClassicRock.com has posted their
"Top 10 The Hobbit-Lord of the Rings Songs".
