- Archive Panic: With over 40 albums to their name, completionists will probably have a hard time collecting everything the Four Freshmen ever released.
- Awesome Music: Whether it's a ballad or an uptempo number, their vocal harmonies are really something else.
- Covered Up: "Their Hearts Were Full of Spring" was rewritten by The Beach Boys as "A Young Man Is Gone" for their Little Deuce Coupe album. The song sounds so natural for the Beach Boys that it's easy to forget it was initially a Four Freshmen song.
- Fanon Discontinuity: Many fans and casual listeners tend to dismiss the albums the group released after the 1960's, often due to most or all of the original or near-original members having been replaced (see Replacement Scrappy).
- Most Wonderful Sound: Whether it's a ballad or an uptempo number, their vocal harmonies are really something else.
- Posthumous Popularity Potential: Capitol might've tried to invoke this with The Solo Voice of Don Barbour, released a year after his death in a car crash.
- Replacement Scrappy: The members that joined after 1973 sometimes get this treatment due to not quite achieving the vocal sound the Freshmen of the 1950's and 1960's had.
