The Resume

    Formed in Minneapolis, Minnesota
    Dan Wilson (guitar/vocals)
    John Bunson (bass)
    Jake Slichter (drums)
    Best known for their 1998 hit ‘Closing Time'

Why they might be annoying:

    Their record company used payola to get ‘Closing Time' a lot of radio airplay.
    They are primarily a one-hit wonder.
    They are a ‘class of '98 one-hit wonder' with bands like Eve 6, Harvey Danger, Marcy Playground and Fastball.
    Their songs have been used in lame romantic comedies like '40 Days and 40 Nights' and ‘Never Been Kissed.'
    Their guitarist/vocalist has the same name as the former baseball catcher.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Though they are considered a one-hit wonder in America, they had some success in the U.K. with the song ‘Secret Smile.'
    ‘Closing Time' was used as one of Weird Al's polkas.
    They co-wrote a song with Carole King.
    They wrote catchy, positive music.
