Spinal Tap was the name of a fictional hard rock / 80s heavy metal band, created for the 1984 rockumentary film This Is Spinal Tap. However, due to the success of the film, the band went on to record and release two albums. The band is a strong satire of the 80s heavy metal genre and scene, and their music reflects that, with blaring guitars, high vocals, and ridiculous lyrical themes, all of which take the stereotypes of the genre and exaggerate them to comedic extremes.
