Favorite End Credit Songs from Jackson's LOTR & Hobbit Trilogies
Coming in last, the song whose only major fault is simply not being as good as the other 5, even coming from a soundtrack that is one of my Top 3...
6. GOLLUM'S SONG (Emiliana Torrini). LOTR: The Two Towers

Next comes a song that I prefer the movie version of vs the end credits version, but I love that the songs for The Hobbit movies took their lyrics from the poems & songs of The Professor himself.
5. SONG OF THE LONELY MOUNTAIN (Neil Finn). TH: An Unexpected Journey
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNd9yBswEgw
Hearing this song in the theater was EPIC, especially following Smaug's golden exit from the mountain. I AM FIRE, I AM DEATH!!!
4. I SEE FIRE (Ed Sheeran). TH: Desolation of Smaug
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fngvQS_PmQ
The Top 3 are all songs I adore. #3 introduced me to one of my favorite singers, who I think is perfection at singing anything Elvish.
3. MAY IT BE (Enya). LOTR: Fellowship of the Ring
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_upDME6MwPY
This one is not only a fabulous song, but it's BILLY BOYD. I absolutely love that Peter Jackson asked Pippin to sing the final song of Middle Earth.
2. THE LAST GOODBYE (Billy Boyd). TH: Battle of the Five Armies
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8ir8rVl2Z4
And my undisputed Top Song, from my undisputed Top Movie...
1. INTO THE WEST (Annie Lennox). LOTR: Return of the King
