Why they might be annoying:

They broke up for about three years in the mid-1970s.
Roy Thomas did not perform much on the band's '80s albums and in the videos can mostly be seen banging a tambourine.
Patrick Moraz later sued the band over royalties.

Why they might not be annoying:

'Nights in White Satin' became a huge (and unlikely) hit.
They made a successful transition from British Invasion pop to psych-progressive rock.
They are one of the very few British Invasion bands still recording and touring.
