The Resume

    (1988-2018)
    Born in United States
    Founded in Pawnee, Oklahoma
    Members were Steve Ripley, Ron Getman, Jamie Oldaker, Walt Richmond and Casey van Beek
    Known for their single 'Baby Likes To Rock It'
    Other notable songs include 'Tryin' To Get To New Orleans,' 'Badly Bent,' 'Santa Claus Boogie' and 'Shortening Bread'
    Mainstream albums include 'The Tractors (1994),' 'Have Yourself A Tractors Christmas (1995)' and 'Farmers In A Changing World (1998)'

Why they might be annoying:

    They were a one-hit wonder.
    They were considered a novelty act, as their other material didn't catch on with listeners the same way 'Baby Likes To Rock It' did.
    Casey van Beek looked like a Kenny Rogers doppelganger.
    The members essentially considered their work 'a state of mind' rather than an actual band.
    Their albums after their self-titled release didn't fare well commercially.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They were initially session musicians who created the group as a one-off project.
    They never anticipated that 'Baby Likes To Rock It' would have been a successful hit single.
    Their debut self-titled album was the fastest one in country music history to go platinum.
    They founded their own label, Boy Rocking Records when their mainstream success ended.
    They had a unique sound, which saw the use of minimal recording techniques and successfully capturing their tracks in a single take.
