Why they might be annoying:

The band never crossed over into mainstream, languishing in the 'alternative' category.
Much of their lyrics were sleazy and misogynist.
One song began, 'Ladies, let me tell you about myself--I got a dick for a brain.'
Their formation was initiated when Dulli and McCollum met while held in the same jail cell for public intoxication/urination.

Why they might not be annoying:

They mixed grunge music with soul.
Their albums received critical accolades.
They had the balls to remake hits by Barry White, Freda Payne and the Supremes.
