    Recorded hit 'Come on Eileen'

Why they might be annoying:

    They had so many members, and switched them so often, that it was difficult to keep track of who was in the band and who wasn't.
    Their only hit, 'Come on Eileen' was reportedly about someone losing their virginity to the neighbor girl.
    Despite that being their only hit, their official site used to falsely boast about their 'several well-remembered family favorites.'
    They are a one-hit Wonder.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Their band was named after Dexedrine, a recreational drug at the time.
