Why they might be annoying:

    They were a one-hit wonder.
    The tension between the two groups was such that producer John Frye stepped in, but to no avail.
    The acts finally chose to record separately, with a third party bringing together the pair of tracks.
    'Pump Up The Volume' contained nearly 30 different music samples, with some tracks excluded depending on which nation heard the tune.
    An injunction was placed because some samples were not legally cleared.

Why they might not be annoying:

    The group name was an acronym derived from several artists associated with the project.
    Their tune earned a Grammy nod for Best Pop Instrumental Performance.
    'Pump Up The Volume' is noted as one track that brought sampling into the mainstream.
    The single is considered a house music classic.
