Why they might be annoying:

    They were originally called just the Bosstones before discovering a doo-wop group had used the name in the 50s.
    At the suggestion of a bartender friend, they arbitrarily added 'Mighty Mighty' to their name to distinguish themselves.
    Ben Carr is considered a full band member despite neither singing nor playing an instrument.
    Their trademark was wearing plaid.
    They dueted with the Count in an 'Elmopalooza' TV special.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They had a high-energy live show.
    Steven Tyler personally invited them to open for Aerosmith's New year's Eve concert (1994).
    During their break-up, Dickie Barrett became the announcer for The Jimmy Kimmel Show and Roman Fleysher became a commercial pilot.
