? The Gunslinger Born is a great look in to Roland of Gilead's back story.

? The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I'm a huge "spaghetti western" fan. The Man With No Name trilogy is at the top of that genre.

? The Nameless One by Volbeat. Ya gotta love a song about the undying love of a zombie cowboy. The whole album is a great western/metal/rockabilly concept.
