Why he might be annoying:

    Their song 'Ordinary People' sings about the USA and the USSR, despite the fact they are a French-Canadian band.
    As a result of the content of 'Ordinary People', they were unfairly pigeonholed as a political band.
    Their album 'The Pleasure and the Pain' was a commercial flop.
    They sing with a noticeable French accent.
    They went on hiatus for ten years between 1992 and 2002.

Why he might not be annoying:

    They cleared up any misconception of them being a political band, by stating that the message behind their song 'Ordinary People' was not politically motivated.
