Why they might be annoying:

    Almost all of their albums contained either ‘Blue’ or ‘Magic’ or both words in the title.
    They sounded almost like any other soul group of their time.
    A general search engine search is more likely to return results for the Jay-Z song of the same title.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They were inspired by the Temptations.
    En route to forming the group, the Wizard was tapped by a Delfonics vocalist to work with a local production company.
    They were background vocalists for the Rolling Stones’ ‘If You Really Want to Be My Friend’ (from ‘It’s Only Rock n’ Roll’).
    ‘Sideshow’ made it to number eight on the Hot 100 and all the way to the top on its R&B counterpart.
