* {{Anvilicious}}: ''Kilroy Was Here'', especially the "Caught in the Act" video. At least JY and the Pannozzos seem to be enjoying what they may have thought of as HamAndCheese..

** Also, a lot of the songs on ''The Grand Illusion'' and ''Pieces of Eight.''
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Pretty much all of it, but special mentions to "Mr Roboto", "Renegade" and "Come Sail Away".

** "Mr Roboto" is ridiculous through and through, and that's why people love it.

* SignatureSong: Usually comes down to a four-way split between "Come Sail Away," "Renegade," "Mr. Roboto," and "Blue Collar Man."

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: ''Kilroy Was Here'' divided many fans, due to its more NewWaveMusic sound and to the point that said fans consider it a CreatorKiller for them, though the lead single "Mr. Roboto" has a fair share of fans.

* FaceOfTheBand: Many, many fans believe that the band just isn't the same without Dennis [=DeYoung=]
** Glen Burtnik during ''Edge Of The Century''. Just watch the video for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtUrbSKDZ2Q Love is the Ritual]]". The camera focuses on him more time than all of the other members combined.

* NarmCharm: "Babe" is about as saccharine and soggy as a '70s soft rock song can sound, but damn if it's not still romantic as heck.

Tastes Like Diabetes is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


* TastesLikeDiabetes: ''Cornerstone'' had "First Time", which the band (except for Dennis) considered even more saccharine than "Babe" (from the same album).

* RetroactiveRecognition: Given his reputation for [[AwesomenessIsVolatile things in his films exploding]] these days, you might be surprised to find out the director of the music video for "Show Me the Way" was Creator/MichaelBay.

Added DiffLines:

* ProductionRelatedPeriodPiece: "Mr. Roboto", which tells part of the story of Robert Orin Charles Kilroy from ''Music/KilroyWasHere''. When you hear the song separate from the album, the lyrics make less sense than they're supposed to without the rest of the songs and the liner notes to explain them.

** Speaking of "Mr. Roboto", one of the lyrics "The time has come at last, to throw away this mask". Flash forward to 2017, and [[VideoGame/Persona5 a certain JRPG seems to take that to heart]].

* CriticalDissonance: Among the most famous in music history: Critics ''loathed'' Styx throughout their entire career and to this day have never truly softened their opinion on them. That said, the band's success is due to their fans alone, who were enough to get the records going several times platinum.
