* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: So you decide to put on ''#1 Record'' after reading critics and artists raving about the band. Okay, these are some nicely crafted guitar pop songs. It's good, but what's the big deal? You have to remember that Big Star was one of the few bands in 1972 that had this sound. Top 40 AM radio had become very middle-of-the-road and bland, FM radio was dominated by HardRock and ProgressiveRock, and some people felt it was too soon for a band to be using Music/TheBeatles as a musical role model, so Big Star's style was non-mainstream and a bit of a challenge to the status quo.

* SignatureSong: You can thank ''Series/That70sShow'' ([[CoveredUp and]] Music/CheapTrick) for turning "In The Street" into the band's most iconic song.

* TrueArtIsAngsty: Good as ''Third/Sister Lovers'' is, it's kind of hard to not see this trope sometimes with all the praise it's given.
