Favourite piece of End Credits Music from the Middle-Earth Chronicles thus far

Which did you like best? Personally I love 'Song of the Lonely Mountain' from the latest Hobbit movie-it just has a great replayability value and a much lighter tone to it than the others. However, I also really like 'Gollum's Song'. The other two just make me tear up every time (the Grey Havens scene doesn't help in RotK!)

But I think I liked the Song of the Lonely Mountain better than Gollum's Song. Everyone was ready to go before the song was over, but I quite liked what I heard.

Fits the movie ending the best and overall is the best song. Next would be: May it be - sounds good but kinda generic Into the west - fits better than may it be but i dont really like it that much Song of the Lonely Mountain - dont like his voice - sounds weak to me but i could imagine someone else making a good go at it. Perhaps i will like it more after a few more listens.

Yes Gollum's Song really goes well with the ending

That last shot of TTT, slowly panning the camera upwards and arriving at Mordor was truly legendary.

When I first heard Song of the Lonely Mountain, I didn't like it very much, perhaps partly because it's so different from any of the previous end credit songs, but it has grown on me and now I love it at least as much as any of the first three. I picked May It Be, but it's very difficult to put the rest in any kind of order. Actually, I'm not even sure if I can say May It Be is my absolute favourite because I love all of the other ones too.

That one has continued to grow on me more and more. It's got staying power. If I hear May it Be again in my lifetime it will be too soon.

1. Gollum's Song 2. May It Be 3. Song of the Lonely Mountain 4. Into The West I also note that my ordering of the LotR songs matches my ordering of the movies, roughly speaking. This is perhaps not a coincidence.

2. Song of the Lonely Mountain 3. May It Be 4. Gollum's Song It's more like 1a - 1d, though.

You didn't include "In Dreams"

It's really hard to choose, but I voted for "May it Be", partly because I've played it on my harp (along with "In Dreams") in church on several Christmas Eves over the past decade. The words sound like they could be a Christmas carol. Enya sings it too slowly, but I love the song. I've also played "Into the West" and "Song of the Lonely Mountain" in my harp in church :-)

Song of the Lonely Mountain - dont like his voice - sounds weak to me but i could imagine someone else making a good go at it. Perhaps i will like it more after a few more listens. We've had 10+ years to listen to the other songs, and only 2 weeks for the new one. I like it in time, just not yet.

It perfectly captures the elven journey to Valinor, as well as the mortal journey beyond death. Very pretty song with powerful lyrics.

I voted for Lonely Mountain. Though I think all the songs fit well their respective movies, the Lonely Mountain is it's the most "lively" of them.

and The Fellowship was actually life-changing for me... it's my favourite. I fall apart every time I hear the closing songs for FotR. Enya's voice, the lyrics and the song followed by In Dreams crawls right into my soul. However, RotK's Into the West is right there next to it in impact and loving of it. The credit pics just kill me. So that, along with the song (lyrics especially) and the upheaval from the film's end... I'm a mess, fersher. Neil Finn's Lonely Mountain song is great, but I like Thorin and the Dwarves' version better ;) Two Towers is my least favourite. My favourite in opening scenes, least fav in ending music.

After quite a few more times listening to Song of the Lonely Mountain i am really liking it - his voice which was weak to me at first has come to sound good. I would now order them. 1. Gollum's song 2. Song of the Lonely Mountain 3. May it be 4. Into the West.

I was pleasantly surprised at how well Finn's song worked at the end of TH:AUJ... when he was first announced I was all wth? and under-whelmed. But honestly I thought the piece and his performance were top shelf. Also it seems to me he's matured nicely over the years. Hopefully there's a second run in store for him.
