* ReplacementScrappy: The general fan reaction to the band secretly replacing longtime drummer Mel Gaynor and keyboardist Andy Gillespie with Cherisse Osei and Gordy Goudie respectively, particularly as their contributions to the actual recording and songwriting have been minimal. Also, a sizable number of fans believe anyone who succeeded bassist Derek Forbes and keyboardist Mick MacNeil to have been scrappies. Mel Gaynor himself is about the only replacement musician to generally be liked, because he played on New Gold Dream, their most popular album. That said, the group's original drummer Brian McGee is still highly regarded.

* AudienceAlienatingEra: The ''Neapolis'' through to ''Cry'' period, a time where the group was-- by their own admission-- not as excited about making cutting edge new music as they once had been. It didn't help that critics ravaged them as washed out during this period. Fortunately, ''Black And White 050505'' restored their image.

* EvenBetterSequel: "Real To Real Cacophony" is considered to be a lot better than "Life In A Day", setting the group apart from their punk roots into something DarkerAndEdgier that quickly got them a cult following overseas.

* FaceOfTheBand: Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill pretty much ''are'' Simple Minds for a lot of people having been the only two constant members since the band's inception. Long time drummer Mel Gaynor gets a nod but he's spent time away from the band and is currently not a member, working on his own projects. The other members have chopped and changed so much over the years the RevolvingDoorBand is in full effect.
