Why they might be annoying:

    Their best known songs were TV cop show themes.
    They were more or less a band of session musicians that Steve Barri and Michael Omartian assembled.
    They were also prone to do covers, such as those of the Rocky theme, the Theme from Baretta, and even a medley of Steely Dan's 'Do It Again' and War's 'Cisco Kid'.

Why they might not be annoying:

    'Theme from S.W.A.T.' reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1976.
    'Theme from S.W.A.T.' has also been sampled by LL Cool J and was brought up in the S.W.A.T. movie.
    Some notable musicians who joined in on some songs included Grammy Winner Jay Graydon, Ray Parker, Jr. and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer James Jamerson.
