Why they might be annoying:

    Taking advantage of glam-rock they wore make-up on their self-titled album (1975)
    Turning from their successful pop blue-eyed soul style they flopped at their attempt at disco (1977-80).
    They separated and their solo careers went no where (1990-97).
    Michael Bolton lists them as a strong musical influence.
    John Oates bears a strong resemblance to Gary Dell'Abate.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Tommy Mottola of Sony signed them.
    'I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)' top the R&B charts which is rarely done by whites (1981).
