Why they might be annoying:

Their music can best be described as extremely emotional.
Not too many people know any of the members of the group, outside of Rob.
They changed the band name in 2000 by officially spelling out '20,' in order not to not be mistaken with other bands whose names include numbers.
'Push' was at one point mistaken as a song about abuse towards women.
According to a Rolling Stone interview, Rob admits that they are a 'radio band.'
They officially spell their name in all lowercase letters.

Why they might not be annoying:

'Yourself or Someone Like You' sold over ten million copies without ever topping the album charts.
'If You're Gone' won an award for 'Song of the Year' at the BMI Pop Awards (for song writing).
Mick Jagger co-wrote 'Disease' with Rob.
They have been involved with many charities.
