No particular reason for this poll. They just pop into my head for no rhyme or reason. Just curious.
As much as I find that Into The West provides a moving conclusion to the LOTR trilogy score, my fav is May It Be. Shoulda won the Best Song Oscar.

My List:
1. May It Be
2. Into The West
3. Gollum's Song
I still get goose bumps when I hear the songs by Enya and Annie Lennox.

I totally agree.

"Gollum's song" for me (but beating "May it be" by really narrow margin)

Gollum's Song without a doubt 
Great lyrics, great performance!
I also like Into the West, that would be my second choice.

They are all wonderful, but "May It Be" is my favorite. Enya's voice is like an angel!

I'm not sure what my favorite is. Maybe "May it Be," because I think Annie Lennox is at the edge of her range in "Into the West" and strains to hit the high notes. I find that distracting.
I must say that I cannot stand "Gollum's Song." I've never liked it; I find it hard to listen to. I know what they were going for. Maybe they succeeded. But I don't like it. It's okay to be weird, but I think the song abuses the privilege. |

"Into the West," though I enjoyed "May it Be" almost as much.
I think "Gollum's Song" was a tad too dissonant for me... instead of pretty it was unsettling. Now, that fits the purpose of the song and matches the character that's supposedly "singing" it, but I wouldn't turn it on to relax or anything. It is sad, though... great lyrics. |

May it be is my fave for listening. Although Into the West has a wonderful poignancy, I agree with LadyInque that the vocal strain cuts into my enjoyment. |

I'd rather vote for "Gollums Song", it has the best atmosphere and is more interesting regarding musical expression.

Too much of a LOTR book fan to really like the movies but I really did like 'May it be'. Love Enya's music.

I love Into the West so very much. I liked Gollum's Song as well, but it happened to be released right about the time that my world seemed to be falling apart, and I started thinking bad things when I played it. Horribly depressing song...I just can't listen to it anymore
