The Resume

(1963-November 5, 2003)
Formed in California
Consists of Bill Medley (September 19, 1941- ) and Bobby Hatfield (August 10, 1941-November 5, 2003)
Hits include 'Unchained Melody,' 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling,' 'Little Latin Lupe Lu,' 'You're My Soul & Inspiration' and 'Rock & Roll Heaven'

Why they might be annoying:

Bill Medley still has a mullet, even though he is in his 60s.
They have broken up several times.
They do not have a lot of on-stage chemistry.
They are not related, despite the band name.
Their last original hit, 'Rock & Roll Heaven' has been considered tacky and is regarded as one of the worst songs ever.
Bobby Hatfield's voice has not held up well over time.

Why they might not be annoying:

They were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
They were pioneers in allowing longer singles to be played on the radio.
'Unchained Melody' became a #1 hit 25 years after it's release.
A lot of people thought they were black because their voices were so soulful.
Bobby Hatfield was supposed to appear on stage the night of his death (November 5, 2003).
