    They were not commercially successful.
    Other than the 4 Wilson brothers, the group went through numerous line-up changes.
    They broke up and reformed just to hit the oldies music circuit.
    Hip hop acts, like Kanye West and Black Eyed Peas, have sampled their music.

Why they might not be annoying:

    The Wilson's chose the name 'Mandrill' because of the animal's colorful face and family-centered nature.
    Their music was a blend of jazz, funk, Latin and African rhythms.
    Their lyrics were socially-conscious, addressing poverty, racism and unity.
