I've got a complete set of their singles, but that's it. You could try getting the albums off of a torrent site.
Didn't Glorfindel have blonde hair? I seem to remember him having blonde hair. I know Legolas was a brunette, but I want to say Galadriel wasn't the only fair-haired elf mentioned.
I found 13 full albums and a bunch of B-sides/remixes from singles on torrent sites, but for some reason those two CDs are nowhere to be found. :(
Yeah, Glorfindel was a blond, and there were probably a few others in The Silmarillion that I'm forgetting about, but the average elf had brown hair. For some reason that's become my Tolkien pet peeve - when I saw the horde of blond elves at Helm's Deep in The Two Towers movie, their hair color annoyed me far, far more than the fact that they were there.
Hmm. That's odd. What about iTunes? Yeah it costs money, but it can be a last resort if no one turns anything up.
I never got around to reading anything besides the trilogy and The Hobbit, so I'm restricted to characters introduced within those four books. I think what Jackson wanted to do was distinguish between the two main groups of elves. Galadriel's group with the blonde and Elrond's with the brown. Then again... Legolas was from Mirkwood and he had blonde hair in the films. Hmm. Oh well. They nozzed up a lot in those flicks. After cutting Tom Bombadill out completely I could care less what color hair the majority of the elves displayed.
