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?

The Goddess is alive, and magic is afoot.

Metallica's "Disposable Heroes" for anyone forced to fight wars for despots, whether in armies led by fanatical followers of Bane or as a slave in Thay. Might also fit that outer plane (can't remember the name) where massive cubes float amongst each other and the souls of dead warriors come to fight and die in endless battles, then be resurrected the next day to do it all over again.

The Old man down the Road by John Fogerty, for Elminster.

He take the thunder from the mountain
He take a lightning from the sky
He bring a strong man to his begging knee
He make the young girl's mama cry.


I just picture a bent-over figure dressed in rags coming down the path, who looks up and in his eyes you can see your own death.

Eve of Destruction for Shar?

Good Morning Starshine for Lathander?

Ironman by Black Sabbath for Manshoon?

LOL! Good one!!

Sailing- Christopher Cross, for Shaundakoul(sp?) At least, I think he's the sailor's deity...

Bad to the Bone by George Thorogood for Khelben

Stand by your Man for Laeral

Knights in White Satin for Pelegrin

Emotional Rescue by the Stones, for nearly any male Knight of Myth Drannor

Stairway to Heaven = Mystra's theme during the Avatar Crisis

Venus by Frankie Avalon (NOT Bannanarama!!!) for Sune

Magic Man by Heart for The Simbul (strange, i know... yet pertinent)

And lastly, Behind Blue Eyes by The Who for Larloch, which is probably my oddest choice by far, but if even half of what I suspect is true, that song could be the core of his being.

You're thinking of Valkur. Shaundakul covers travel and exploration, as well as portals.

You know, it's showing just how rarely I venture outside the realm of classical music. Because virtually none of these songs are familiar to me.

There's a whole mess of them I don't know, either, and I avoid classical music. Then again, my taste in music doesn't match the taste of anyone else I know!

Heh. A lot of my early/formative years were spent listening to the "great composers" -- while school chums and friends alike bombarded their ear-drums with the "classics of the 80's."

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

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

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?

Interesting choices. There's one or two I'd change though, and when I get time, I'll post some suggestions of my own for those who, like myself, are "classically-inclined."

Hey Jorkens. I love your choices. One note, though. Beshaba's pick of Evil woman is from ELO, not Spooky Tooth.

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!)

Mystra and Elmisnter together: "Magic" by the Cars

Deudermont: "Wake of the Magellan" by Savatage

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

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

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:
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 don't know if this applies, but the archmage I used to play in the 2e days had a theme song:

I've not seen Weird Al or the Presidents mentioned yet...

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.

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

I know enough about classic music to appreciate that this song would actually be more appropriate for the Marraenoloth skeletal ferrymen on the River Styx.
