The Resume

    (December 31, 1942- )
    Birth name is Andrew James Somers
    Guitarist for The Police
    Released the solo albums 'XYZ,' 'Mysterious Barricades,' 'The Golden Wire,' 'Charming Snakes,' 'World Gone Strange,' 'Synaesthesia,' 'The Last Dance of Mr. X,' 'Strings of Desire,' 'Green Chimneys,' 'Peggy's Blue Skylight' and 'Earth + Sky'

Why he might be annoying:

    He changed the spelling of his last name.
    He's nearly a decade older than his ex-bandmates, Sting and Stewart Copeland.
    Despite this, he appeared in many teenybopper magazines.
    In the ‘Synchronicity' album, he sang in the chaotic single ‘Mother.'
    His single ‘Be My Girl – Sally' is about his ‘relationship' with an inflatable doll.
    His first solo album, 'XYZ,' was critically panned.
    He provided backup vocals on a Billy Bob Thornton CD.
    He cockily suggested, 'The Police didn't really start until I joined.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He had to deal with Sean 'Diddy' Combs lifting his guitar lick from 'Every Breath You Take' without his blessing.
    He played guitar on an Eric Burdon and the Animals album before he was with the Police.
    He is an accomplished photographer and author.
    He reunited with the Police when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (2003).
