Why they might be annoying:

    They sound like Rush, without the talented musicians, but still having a lead singer with an irritating high pitched voice.
    There were frequent line-up changes, and Burke Shelley is the only original member of the band remaining.
    Burke wears Coke-bottle glasses.
    The band is named after a type of parrot.
    Their 1975 album, ‘Bandolier' featured a gun-toting parrot riding a horse on the cover.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Metallica were huge fans of theirs, and covered a few of their songs. Their songs have also been covered by Van Halen, Soundgarden and Iron Maiden.
    Black Sabbath producer, Roger Bain, produced many of their albums.
    They had a brief period of popularity again in the late 70's with metal music becoming more popular.
    They have a cult following in Wales.
