Why they might be annoying:

    They formed because Steve Perry didn't feel like rejoining Journey.
    Their second album bombed.
    Although they had other hits, 'When I See You Smile' is the only one that most people remember.
    Because of this, they are often mislabeled as a one-hit wonder.
    Blender Magazine called them one of the worst bands of all time.
    Their hits were typical cheesy 80's love ballads.

Why they might not be annoying:

    It was comprised of members from two successful bands (Journey and The Babys).
    Waite and Schon were uncomfortable with the band's syrupy pop image and attempted to lead them into harder-edged rock.
    Their first album had several hits and went platinum.
    Schon, Cain and Castronovo reformed Journey after the band split.
