it's a sad fact that most of our "original compositions" suck.
i have listened to countless radio programs over the years where they featured "originals" and "homegrown talent" and yep, the songs are so bad or devoid of hook you wonder why they devote an hour or two to them.
the only time i noticed a band's songs was like 2001 and there was this group called "spongecola" playing college alternative sounding stuff... and well, i guess everyone knows them now.
and oh, PGT Finalists Skeights also have some interesting songs. i think X2M (yes, its matanglawin's band) has good pop stuff that i can dig too.
majority of the originals though, are just meh. give me MYMP over them.
