The Resume

    (1986- )
    Born in Boston, Massachusetts
    Led by vocalist and guitarist Evan Dando
    Recorded the albums 'Hate Your Friends' (1987), 'Creator' (1988), 'Lick' (1989), 'Lovey' (1990), 'It's a Shame About Ray' (1992), 'Come On Feel the Lemonheads' (1993), 'Car Button Cloth' (1996), 'The Lemonheads' (2006), 'Varshons' (2009), 'Varshons 2' (2019)

Why they might be annoying:

    There have been more than forty members by one count, as the 'band' consists of whoever happens to be playing with Dando at any given moment.
    They were originally called the Whelps before renaming themselves after a brand of candy.
    Paul Simon hated their cover of 'Mrs. Robinson.'
    After 'It's a Shame About Ray' won a Classic Album Award at the NME Awards, Dando dropped the trophy in a trash can, telling a handler, 'I don't want this.' (2014)

Why they might not be annoying:

    They recorded their first EP the day the three founding members graduated high school.
    John Peel said their cover of Suzanne Vega's 'Luka' was 'infinitely preferable to the original.'
    Johnny Depp starred in the video for 'It's a Shame About Ray.'
    They were described by 'The Guardian' as 'the group who could credibly bridge the gap between grunge and pop.'
