We mentioned on a previous episode (actually, Todd did) that Kenny Loggins is the soundtrack king of the 80's, but now it's time for Todd to put his knowledge to the test, as Blaine challenges him to name all of the songs.

69: Spinal Tap, "This is Spinal Tap"
Where do you even start with Spinal Tap? They set the standard for parody documentaries (otherwise known as 'mockumentaries') and influenced many bands and movies in the ensuing decades. Todd was even lucky enough to see them perform live on the Break Like The Wind tour. It was super fun to tell the story of this band.Connect with us at tapeheadspod.comRELATED LINKS:Our Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight playlist, on SpotifySpinal Tap, on SpotifyThis Is Spinal Tap, at IMDB

We would be surprised if it they do, but their song "I Don't Mind At All" is fantastic, and we think you'll agree.Similarly, Freiheit are a German band known for a song from the soundtrack to the movie "Say Anything" (we discussed the song on that episode as well) that was also featured on American Idol.
