Why they might be annoying:

    They are considered a one-hit wonder in the United States.
    Their one 'hit' never even cracked the Hot 100 or hit the top ten mainstream rock tracks.
    The rest of the band was overshadowed by Cochrane.
    The band broke up in the late 80's when Tom Cochrane's solo career started taking off.
    They reunited in 2002 as 'Tom Cochrane and Red Rider' without Boynton or Baker.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Although initially not a successful single, 'Lunatic Fringe' gained airplay after being featured in the movie 'Vision Quest.'
    'Lunatic Fringe' is a classic rock radio staple.
    They were hugely popular in their homeland Canada.
    Tom Cochrane's solo hit 'Life Is a Highway' was a top ten hit in America and is also a classic rock radio favorite.
