Fair enough.

Not even credit for directly influencing some of the greatest rock songs ever?

Irrelevant. LedZep were Tolkien nerds but I don't see high-profile politicians and renowned economists referencing The Silmarillion when discussing their personal philosophy.
I cite irreconcilable differences.

Non sequitor - I just asked if Rand at least gets credit for being relevant enough to influence a good many Rush tunes, I wasn't trying to make some big point.

To your point though, Tolkien hated people drawing a corollary between LOTR and his political and/or religious beliefs, while Rand clearly writes to put forth one ideology, rather than create worlds of fantasy, so perhaps not a great comparison, but I understand your point.

Oh no her work and ideas clearly resided in the world of fantasy.
