A thread by this title is posted elsewhere, but I was wondering what songs and lyrics, you consider inspirational for an OD&D campaign.
For instance here are a couple that I think of(using a quick & dirty reference search):
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The overture to the opera William Tell, especially its high-energy finale, is a very familiar work composed by Gioachino Rossini. There has been repeated use (and sometimes parody) of this overture in the popular media, most famously for being the theme music for the Lone Ranger media property, and it is quoted by Dmitri Shostakovich in his Symphony No. 15. William Tell was the last and most enduringly famous of Rossini's 39 operas, after which he went into semi-retirement, although he continued to compose cantatas, sacred music, and secular vocal music.
The overture is written in four parts, each segueing into the next:
* Prelude - a slow passage with low-pitch instruments such as cello and bass
* Storm - dynamic section played by full orchestra
* Ranz des vaches (call to the dairy cows) - featuring the English horn
* Finale - ultra-dynamic "cavalry charge" galop heralded by trumpets and played by full orchestra. T

In the Hall of the Mountain King (Norwegian: I Dovregubbens hall) is a piece of orchestral music, Opus 23, composed by Edvard Grieg for Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt, which premiered in Oslo on February 24, 1876. (It was later extracted as the final piece of Peer Gynt, Suite No. 1, Op. 46.) Although a performance of the full piece runs to only two minutes, it has attained iconic status in popular culture and is easily recognized, though not, perhaps, by name.
These are two of my favorite pieces of music.
