The National/YMMV


 * Crowning Music of Awesome: Basically everything. All of their albums have been critically acclaimed except for their first, but even that was pretty close to universal acclaim on Metacritic.
 * "The Rains of Castamere" certainly count for Game of Thrones fans.
 * Face of the Band - Subverted. Every one of the band members get just as much publicity as the rest.
 * Narm - Subverted. Matt's voice makes even the most ridiculous lyrics seem deep and serious, as seen here.
 * Tear Jerker - They thrive off of this trope.
