Some of these may not have turned up in the first movie, but
they are mentioned in the trilogy.

How about Steve Peregrin Took of T-Rex?  (Peregrin Took is Pippin's
full name.)  http://www.steve-took.co.uk/

There is a prog-jazz band called Mithrandir (an alternate name for
Gandalf). http://www.gepr.net/mas.html#MIRTHRANDIR

There is a prog rock band called Lorien, and another called
Iluvatar.

And there's a newage band called Shadowfax (Gandalf's horse).
Cirith Ungol and Morgoth are heavy metal bands.  Mirkwood was
a prog band that released on LP in '73.  The Hobbits recorded
3 albums in the late 60s.

I'm sure there's more...
