Why they might be annoying:

    They were not happy to be labeled a 'gay group' in the United Kingdom (did they look in the mirror first?).
    To name their debut album '1st Album,' they must have been awfully sure of themselves.
    Having no record company backing them, they did not go to North America to promote their music.
    During a 2003 concert, Dieter shocked the entire crowd - including his bandmate - by announcing the demise of the group out of nowhere.
    Thomas admitted never forming a lifelong bond with Dieter.
    They both have pointy chins.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They had a solid fan base in Iran, where Western music was banned since the 1979 Islamic revolution.
    They went on to outsell such luminaries as Boney M, the Scorpions, and Rammstein — in fact, all other German-based artists at the time.
    Even during their tenure, Dieter found time to work with other artists.
    Both went on to fairly successful solo careers and happy family lives.
