Why they might be annoying:

    They had frequent lineup changes, and only recorded one album with all 6 members.
    They did not achieve the same chart success in the United States as they did in the UK.
    They were accused of racism while performing a song called 'Blacks,' which was inspired by a sarcastic Andy Warhol comment.
    Long time fans were disappointed when their song 'Pretty In Pink' was used in the teen 'Brat Pack' film of the same name.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They reunited after eight years to tour with the Go-Go's (2000).
    Since reuniting in 2000, the band has continued to tour and record new music.
    Their song 'Love My Way' was introduced to a new generation when it was featured in 'The Wedding Singer.'
    Artists such as Elvis Costello and the Counting Crows have covered their songs.
    One critic said of Richard Butler's lyrics, '(he) achieves more in 3 minutes than F. Scott Fitzgerald could in 300 pages.'
