1	* AccidentalInnuendo: ''69 Love Songs'' was apparently chosen because of its appeal as a cover design.
2	* CoveredUp: Music/PeterGabriel's version of "The Book Of Love" seems to have done this.
3	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: His usual cynicism makes the pure love songs all the sweeter, especially "It's Only Time", a perfect wedding song.
4	-->''Why would I stop loving you''
5	-->''A hundred years from now?''
6	-->''It's only time, it's only time.''
7	-->''What could stop this beating heart''
8	-->''Once it's made a vow?''
9	-->''It's only time, it's only time.''
10	* HilariousInHindsight: The very title of "Andrew In Drag" becomes this thanks to Music/ArcadeFire's video for "We Exist," which features Creator/AndrewGarfield playing a trans woman.
11	* TearJerker: "Busby Berkeley Dreams"
12	** A lot of ''Get Lost'', but especially "Why I Cry" (which was used effectively in some sad moments in ''Series/TheAdventuresOfPeteAndPete'') and "All the Umbrellas in London".
13	** "Fathers In The Clouds" from ''50 Song Memoir'' tells the real-life story of Merritt meeting his real father after decades of never seeing him. Stephen sings like he doesn't care but the accompanying music is so heartbreaking it suggests this encounter affected him more than he lets on.
14	* VindicatedByHistory: With the band releasing more and more acclaimed albums later on (thanks to the success of ''69 Love Songs''), their first two and their only ones to have Susan Anway as a lead vocalist, ''Distant Plastic Trees'' and ''The Wayward Bus'', eventually became forgotten by fans. However, they would later be re-discovered and are now considered to be great albums.
