Why they might be annoying:

    They have changed band members almost forty times.
    They had little success until their tenth album.
    Their music became more pop-oriented after they became successful, alienating their earlier fans.
    'Abracadabra' had really strange, creepy lyrics ('I wanna reach out and grab ya!').
    Miller would sometimes make up random words (such as 'pompatus') and include them in the lyrics of his songs.
    Their 1993 album 'Wide River' bombed so bad that they didn't record another album until 'Bingo!' in 2010.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They had several hits, with three of them hitting #1.
    Their music has crossed over a wide variety of genres, including blues, psychedelic, country, new wave, progressive, etc.
    Paul McCartney played bass and drums on their second album.
    Guitarist Boz Scaggs went on to have a successful solo career.
    Their 'Fly Like an Eagle' album was featured in Rolling Stone's '500 Greatest Albums of All Time.'
    Their greatest hits album is one of the best selling albums of all time, with over 13 million copies sold.
