Why they might be annoying:

    They have a hippie name and music described as 'eerie, faintly psychedelic lullabies.'
    Members smoke and/or abuse drugs.
    They 'trip' prior to performing 'so their music is more trippy.'
    Hope is said to mumble through many songs, possibly due to drug use.
    The band seems to focus on David and Hope.
    Other members are referred to as 'rest of the Mazzy gang' or 'those background people.'
    Average time span between releases is three years.
    They refer to 'non hardcore fans' as 'not enough slobs saddling up to the
    Wal-Mart plunking down their thirteen bucks.'
    They base their album sales on how many 'hardcore fans' they have.
    At a concert, Hope retorted to an applauding crowd with 'Why are you clapping? You weren't even listening.'
    Hope compared performing on the Conan O'Brien show to that of a dental visit because of having to perform under bright lights.

Why they might not be annoying:

    They have a bohemian style.
    David has collaborated with Beth Orton.
    Keith has collaborated with Miranda Lee Richards.
    They contribute vocals to Jesus and Mary Chain.
    They were Jesus and Mary Chain's opening act during their (1994-1995) Britain tour.
    Their music has been described by some as 'lush and majestic.'
    When Hope isn't mumbling through songs, her voice is considered by her peers to be lovely.
    During an interview, David was quick to defend the kindness of the Conan O'Brien show, when Hope insulted them.
