Line 18:
** In case you're wondering, that's a song off of each (non-children's) studio album (and at least one compilation). Yeah, it's one of the band's favorite tropes. And at least half of those have serious [[Lyrical Dissonance]]. "Someone Keeps Moving My Chair" is downright ''upbeat''.
* [[Sequel Displacement]]: By far, even to this day, the most well-known album the band has put out is its third, ''Flood''. This is the album that has "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)", "Particle Man", and "Birdhouse In Your Soul". Since it's the most common [[Gateway Series|gateway]] into fandom of the band, there's even a [[Fan Community Nicknames|Fan Community Nickname]] for those that bought ''Flood'' as their first TMBG album: Floodies.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]]: In their early days, [[Fan Nickname|the Johns]] worked by themselves and used double-tracking and drum machines to complete the tracks, and they'd play to recordings live. When they finally decided they needed a backup band, fans were pissed. They got over it eventually, though, and now it's hard for most of them to imagine what it would have been like if that had never happened. Their first band album, John Henry, has a controversial status among fans.
