Frayed nerves

I'm I alone in wondered what on earth commercial radio sees in songs like "How To Save A Life" by the Fray or "Bad Day"? Why does this stuff get airtime? Dreary is in the eye of the beholder - I'm not afraid of a bit of miserablist, just ask Interpol, but where is the redeeming feature in this cack? Please, stick with your Umbrella and leave the serious stuff to artists who can actually write songs.
