Any era, any character! What song(s) would fit the FR characters or gods?
Talos- "Ride the Lightning" or "Thunderstruck"
Alias- for some reason "Bring Me to Life" seems to fit....
Others? |

I have to ask. Which version the Al green version, Foghat or one of the later covers?
Galadriel by Barclay James Harvest could work for Alustriel.
Give me the Prize by Queen would be the song for all adventuring parties.
Time We Left This World Today by Hawkwind would be the song of the elves.
I Walked with a Zombie works for Szass Tam.
Love Man by Otis Redding could be anotehr choise for Elminster.
The Band version of I Shall Be Released is the grumbling humming of all summoned creatures.
Keep Me Hanging on is the national anthem of all Cloakers, the Vanilla Fudge version when in a bad mood and the Supremes when happy.

You know what they say about great minds, MT!! Meh, I thought about it, but that seemed like more of a place thing, and I don't know those areas well. Calimport was the first one I thought of. And a couple more:
"The Lady Wore Black" by Queensreich for Shar or maybe Loviatar
"Superfreak" for Sharess
the Final Fantasy VII battle theme, for Drizzt- any time he's fighting!! |

Take me to the River For Eldath (the title and chorus work, the rest not so much)
I had a choice (magic man) for the Simbul singing about Elminster, but how about the other 'way around?
She's Always a Woman by Billy Joel - Lyrics work GREAT
Rather then use the other thread, I'll just post my event/place choices here as well...
Nobody's Home by Kansas for the post-plague Realms

Holy Carp! 
I had that same song with "any Shoon Emperor", and then deleted it from my list because it wasn't specific enough.
Talk about 'thinking alike'. You would think at least one of us would have went to Zakhara or even Semphar/Golden waters with that. |

Great choices - sveral made me literally LOL (the Moander one is hysterical)
I don't see the relevancy of Dust in the Wind for Shaundakul though. 
I'm a Kansas fan, and I think you may have meant Point of No Return? That would be a good choice for Valkur as well. Dust in the Wind is more of a Shar-thing (big-time Entropy thing going on there).
All of Kansas' songs are great inspiration for D&D, particularly off the Point of No Return album.
I was actually most pleased with my choice for Cyric.
And looking at it now I have actually no idea why I put down Dust in the Wind there, I don't even like that song. I might have had Against the Wind by Seger in the back of my head or just thought about the wind the dust as traveling in some way. It should probably be changed to Call me the Breeze (either the JJ Cale original or the Lynyrd Skynyrd version). Down the Road with Kansas has a title that works, but the lyrics are of course wrong.
And as it was impossible for me to find anything for a couple of gods I will just use those slots for "Radar Love" by Golden Earring and the titanic and ground breaking "East-West" by The Butterfield Blues band. These have absolutely nothing to do with the gods in question but they are to great to leave out.
As for Kansas. Death Of Mother Nature Suite would be the perfect choice for the Emerald Brotherhood and aggressive druids.
I am the Walrus (Beatles of course) for Mirt
Got my Mojo working (Muddy Waters or Otis Span version) for Elminster.
Seems like I will have to start going through the personalties of the Realms to.

MT, I kind of think "Private Dancer" fits Sharess better, lol! Though the choices for Ilsensine and Tymora were great!!
How about- "Come Sail Away" for Valkur?
Oh, for Manshoon, an obvious choice, given his "nickname"- "La Cucharacha"! (sp?)
Any Pasha in Calimport- "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf
Kossuth- "Light My Fire" by the Doors
Shar- "Dungeons Are Calling" by Savatage
Simbul- "Witchy Woman" by the Eagles

Well, "Dare to be Stupid" is one of my fave songs by him... And isn't that Cyric's themesong? |

Nice Quale - now you have me thinking of theme music for NPCs dependent on specific events
Last dance for Mary Jane by Tom Petty for Mystra (circa 1385)
Free Falling also by Tom Petty for Karsus
Don't come around here no more once again by Tom Petty for Larloch, after his final visit from Szass Tam

Strauss - Sprach Zarathustra - Lathander, Dawn Cataclysm or Heart of Sunrise by Yes
Velvet Underground - Here She Comes - Sharess or Sister Ray for Corelon lol

Amon Tobin - Nightlife - Danilo Thann

The first time I saw the name Spooky Tooth, it was in the Glass Walker's Tribebook. When I later heard of the real band, I thought it was a joke! It was a few years before I found out they were a real band.  |

Close my Eyes Forever by Lita ford for Kelemvor (I see him singing Ozzy's part)
Don't Pay the Ferryman by Chris de Burgh for Charon (okay, thats really Planescape)
Big Balls by AC/DC for Siamorphe
Octopus' Garden by the Beatles for Ilsensine (I was actually thinking Pyaray, but thats not a canon FR deity)
Burning Down the House by Talking Heads for Kossuth
Titanic theme for Istishia
Flight of the Valkyries by Wagner for akadi (Hey, I can do classical!)
Bark at the Moon for Selune is too obvious, my version is more like Hecate so I prefer Superstition
Judgement Day by Iron maiden for Tyr
Maxwell's Silver Hammer by the Beatles for Gond (not really relevant, but funny)
Walk this Way by Aerosmith is another I like for Shaundakul
Luck be a Lady by Sinatra for Tymora
Jinx by Green Day for Beshaba
Lightening's Hand by Kansas for Talos
Private Dancer by Tina Turner for Eilistraee
Seasons in the Sun for Szass Tam (strange choice, i know, but the lyrics seem relevant to me)
Tambourine Man is another choice I like for Finder (AFTER he remembered who he was)
Daughter of Darkness by Tom Jones for Shar (In my HB she is the daughter of Erebus)
Commentary for Jorkens:

Ah. sorry, that was the only one by that name I knew of. I'm a rather big fan of ELO. In fact-
Kossuth: "Fire On High" also by ELO.
Eilistraee: "Dancin" by olivia Newon John/the Tubes (For those big dance rituals...)
Chauntea: "Fields of Gold by Sting
Selune: "River of Dreams" by Billy Joel |

Nope, different song. The Spooky Tooth song is from Spooky Two (there should be a version on Youtube)from '69, before Lynn had done anything at all, he hadn't even joined the Move yet. Its the same song played by Canned Heat if I remember correctly. There is of course also the Doobie Brothers song to, so there's plenty of songs with that name one could use, The Spooky Tooth one was simply the one I heard most recently.
And yes I am definitely a nerd when it comes to old rock etc. Did I mention that it can only really be enjoyed on vinyl |

IK, it looks like we have similar tastes in music!!
BTW, Wooly, thanks for the clarification. I get Valkur and shandakoul mixed up since they both cover travel.
Another few picks.
Cyric or Malar: "The Monster is Loose" by Meat Loaf.
Also for Malar: "Bark at the Moon" by black Sabbath (Sorry- had to go there!)

My taste would be considered 'eclectic', at best. My alignment is chaotic musical.
The Long and Winding Road for Shaundakul
I'm No Supermman is another good one for Elminster
The Warrior by Patty Smyth for the Red knight
Do You Really want to hurt me? for Loviatar
Dirty Deeds for Baal
Stray Cat Strut for Baast, Lets get Physical when she's Sharess
Eye of the Tiger for Gruumsh
Corellon - any song by David Bowie 
Stand by Me for Helm
The Lion Sleeps Tonight for Nobanion
Who are You for Nameless/Finder Wyverspur
Bat Out of Hell for Asmodeus
Crazy Train for Cyric?

I like the 80's music too. 1680's, 1780's, and even the 1880's. |
