The Resume

    Pop group formed in London in 1977
    Original line-up:
    Paul Roberts - lead vocals & acoustic guitar
    Luigi Salvoni - drums & percussion
    Loz Netto - guitars & vocals
    Mick Dyche - guitars & vocals
    Chris Birkin - bass & vocals
    Alan Fealdman - keyboards
    Recorded 'Driver's Seat'

Why they might be annoying:

    They are a one hit wonder.
    Roberts and Salvoni started as the band Ashes of Moon in 1973, but disbanded the same year when they couldn't land a record deal.
    The band recorded their debut album 'Fickle Heart' (which yielded their hit 'Driver's Seat') in 1978, but their record company sat on it for a year, finally releasing it in 1979.
    The group disbanded in 1983, only to reform again in 1992.
    There have been numerous line-up changes within the band, with Roberts being the only constant member.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Roberts is an accomplished artist and has painted the band's album covers.
    'Driver's Seat' reached #15 on Billboard's Singles chart in the U.S. - it further hit #17 in Canada and #8 in the Netherlands.
    When the song was used in a European advertising campaign, it was reissued and reached #1 in the Netherlands in 1991.
    The song was featured on the soundtrack of the 1997 smash hit movie 'Boogie Nights.'
