Why they might be annoying:

    They were one-hit wonders.
    The band's line-up changed on each of their albums.
    The cover of 'Jumpin' the Gunne' was described by AllMusic as 'the most politically incorrect sight you can imagine': the four band members in a brass bed, staring up at an obese naked woman floating across the ceiling.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They took their name from a Chuck Berry song.
    Jay Ferguson and Mark Andes had been members of Spirit.
    They were the second act signed to Asylum Records, following Jackson Browne.
    Ferguson went on to have a solo hit with 'Thunder Island' while Mark Andes joined the bands Firefall and Heart.
    The original line-up reunited (2005).
