Why they might be annoying:

    Dave Mason left and rejoined Traffic several times.
    The band broke up in 1969 and reformed a year later.
    Chris Wood died of liver failure brought on by substance abuse in 1983.
    Jim Gordon suffered from schizophrenia and was convicted in 1984 of killing his mother.
    Winwood and Capaldi reformed Traffic in 1994 and released an album, but it went nowhere.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Although Winwood was already a star with Spencer Davis Group, he wanted Traffic to be a group effort.
    They began by rehearsing in a Berkshire cottage, thus starting a trend among musicians of 'getting it together in the country.'
    Winwood has gone on to a successful solo career.
    Dave Mason also had a productive career.
    The band's song 'Feelin' Alright' was a hit for Joe Cocker.
    They ranked 100 in VH1's Greatest Artists of Rock and Roll.
    They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
