| 12 | !!Tropes in the work of The Lightning Seeds: |
| 13 | |
| 14 | * CoolShades: Broudie is rarely seen without these. |
| 15 | * CoverVersion: One of their biggest hits is "You Showed Me". The Lightning Seeds version is similar to Music/TheTurtles' arrangement but with the addition of a trip hop beat. |
| 16 | * IAmTheBand: It started as Broudie recording under a group name before becoming a RevolvingDoorBand with Broudie as the only permanent member. |
| 17 | * LikeFatherLikeSon: Broudie's son Riley - as in, "The Life of Riley" - joined the band as rhythm guitarist in 2009. Original drummer Chris Sharrock's son Jim also became the band's drummer in 2016. |
| 18 | * LyricalDissonance: "Lucky You" disguises its viciousness with a very catchy musical backing. "Sugar Coated Iceberg" is an upbeat song about a dysfunctional relationship with someone who's superficially nice but is actually not a good person. |
| 19 | * ShoutOut: The guitar solo in "Pure" quotes Music/NewOrder's [[Music/LowLife "Love Vigilantes"]]. |
