What band would you classify as "D&D rock"?

In sort of a mock tribute to Gary Gygax (R.I.P.), what music/bands would you say have a sound that would fit perfectly in with D&D? Those bands that have the fantasy inspired lyrics, a very either old folk sound, or a "fantastical" sound, or who constantly try to pose themselves as warriors from days past.

    Led Zeppelin

    Jethro Tull *

    Blackmore's Night **

    * = the "Broadsword and The Beast" phase

    ** = they provide the music for the RP game 'Magiquest', and Candice actually appears in the games.

    Uriah Heep...particularly their albums Demons and Wizards and The Magician's Birthday.

    There are a lot of Blue Oyster Cult songs that would fit in well with this too...same with Yes, a little bit of Rush....Led Zeppelin had their moments.

    No real lyrics to these guys...but Juno Reactor would fit fantastic as well.

    oh...and Bjork...for sure

    In terms of music; Oasis are not TOO similar, but the closest thing I have heard to The Beatles' style. In terms of impact, no band really has as much impact as they did. If I had to pick honestly, It would be Muse. They're considered one of the best live bands today, and they are popular around the world, most people like them I'd say. I'm not a huge fan, but they make great music. BQ: Not much bro, you? BQ2: Matestasize - Anomalous I recommend you listen to Anomalous's other songs too, they are amazing Technical Death Metal.
