* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: 1968's "America Is My Home" is a pro-[[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar Vietnam War]] song which was written in reaction to civil rights leaders like UsefulNotes/MartinLutherKingJr speaking out against the war. It advocates for black and white Americans to drop their racial differences to "get up and fight" the enemy, and claims that America is "still the best country, without a doubt". In an era where the Vietnam War is largely considered to be one of the country's worst foreign policy blunders, and PatrioticFervor is becoming more questioned, the song certainly aged poorly.

* AudienceAlienatingEra: "The Original Disco Man" era, however brief, was Brown's biggest dork age. A cut-by-numbers disco album, released in ''1979'', when everyone was well and tired of the genre as a whole. It wouldn't be until ''Film/RockyIV'' and "Living In America" that he finally shook off the stink of the album.

You may not be familiar with his music, but you've definitely heard his riffs, drums, and vocals sampled in other hit tracks like "[[Music/EnVouge Hold On]]", "[[Music/PublicEnemy Fight The Power]]", and even ''Series/ThePowerpuffGirls'' theme song.
