Additional notes
A band made up for the mockumentary "This Is Spinal Tap", a satire of the hard rock and heavy metal music scene. It is both made-up and real, because the band members are American actors posing as British musicians, yet they have performed concerts and released records under the name Spinal Tap.

"Spinal Tap" (aka "Spinal Tap Sings '(Listen to the) Flower People' and Other Favorites" (1967)
"We Are All Flower People" (1968)
"Silent but Deadly (1969)
"Brainhammer" (1970)
"Nerve Damage" (1971)
