Totally agree, and it is what makes music more interesting than if it was hard to tell who is singing a generic thing.......however I still think Greg nailed it, as whether original or not, if the thing is effective and gets your hair up or your foot tapping and smiles occuring it does have a place and there will be people who enjoy hearing it. Just probably easier to get it effective if it has some personality to use as ammunition too......
