The Spinal Tap album cover scene inspired a group to name themselves None More Black.
Personally I find the Beatles to be extremly overrated in the grand scheme of things. But you can't argue with history.
and @Middlepath, I have long since argued that the "glory days" ended after they lost the grammy for "And Justice For All" to Jethro Tull.
After Bob Rock got behind the board, they became the money making juggernaut that you see today.

Hi Jothar. The film was a fictional, hilarious spoof of the Heavy Metal/Glam rock industry. But, if I am not mistaken, they did have Spinal Tap albums/CD's sold in music stores.
The scene with the volume dial on the amp going up to 11 was hilarious, and it was true. Where most amps have a volume that goes up to 10, that one went up to 11, giving it that little extra kick. But there was also the guitar which was so valuable in the collection, that one cannot even look at it or it would lose value. Ok, enough. lol

I really loved their earliest music, but not much later on, and certainly not when they were on their own, no longer a group. "Yesterday" was one of my favorites, and so was Paul's rendition of "There Were Bells." This was aidel and sweet music, secular or not.

All You Need is Cash preceded and inspired This is Spinal Tap.

cleverjewishpun, I agree with you about that. I may even go so far as to say that the glory days ended when Cliff Burton was killed. Of course, Justice was indeed a great album, but it was the beginning of the end. And I always wonder what could have been had Dave Mustaine stayed in the band. I happen to think he is far better a guitarist than Kirk.

Hi, cleverjewishpun- Unless I misunderstood, how can a Grammy Award really be a litmus test to the value of any music? Awards have no real place. They are nice to win, but certainly do not belong in the creative arena, in my opinion.

BTGuy, I don't think cleverjewishpun was saying that since they lost the Grammy, it must mean their level of musical ability was deteriorating. Rather, that they happened to "lose their musical edge" and became much more dull around that time. I happen to think they simply were money hungry and saw that going mainstream would provide a greater cash flow, instead of sticking to their roots.
And I agree that awards in the music industry mean absolutely nothing. Just look at who's in the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, and who isn't. (Example- Rush isn't in it. Yet, in my opinion, they are one of the most talented bands of all time.)
