Why he might be annoying:

They were one-hit-wonders in the UK.
Despite their many recording, 'More Than Words' dwarfed all their other songs.
'More Than Words' never managed to reach number 1 in the UK singles charts.
On VH-1's 'Bands Reunited,' the band refused to reunite for a special one-off reunion.
Gary Cherone went on to become the ill-fated third lead singer of Van Halen.
Their reason for not reuniting on 'Bands Reunited,' was that they had broken up only eight years ago.

Why he might not be annoying:

They were successful in the US with 'More Than Words' hitting number 1.
'More Than Words' was voted #90 in VH-1's 100 greatest songs never to reach number 1 in the UK.
