Why they might be annoying:

Every album was a 'volume' (in the U.K., their debut album was titled 'Club Classics Volume One').
Their debut album went double platinum in the U.S.; nobody cared much about them after that.
Their dress style was dubbed 'Funki Dred.'
They eventually put out their own 'Funki Dred' clothing line.
By 1992, it was basically a one-man band - Jazzie B was the only member remaining.

Why they might not be annoying:

The success of their first album garnered them Grammy and American Music Awards nominations in 1990.
They had continued success in the U.K. in the 1990's.
Their style of music was a fusion of disco, reggae, rap and Philly soul.
