    Either don't know all these bands, or I think they suck. MGMT gets vote for originality, even though I don't really like their music very much.

    Tough choice for me between MGMT and MMJ. I went MMJ though as I think they are the more talented bad.

    MGMT seems to me to be a less talented and less funny Ween.
    Their "creativity" has all the earmarks of existing entirely inside the Pro Tools interface which is not the same as being a creative band.
    But up against two godawful radio choads I have to cast my vote their way..

    When did MMJ become popular on radio? I will admit I haven't listened to radio in years, but I'd be surprised if they got much play.

    This is another place where I diverge from the general music populace: I see a computer with production software as an instrument in and of itself. Just like the proverbial typewriting monkey won't accidentally create Skakespeare, a talentless hack won't pull art out of ProTools. This would be like Segovia saying Hendrix is dog squeeze because his guitar was electric.
    As I have alluded to before, there is a HUGE difference between being skilled at an instrument and being a recording artist. Tbere are WAAAAY more of the former than the latter.

    I agree about it being an instrument but my personal experience is that it's far easier to one person to layer tracks and produce something that completely fools everyone into thinking they are a tenured musician than to apply the same to live music and come up with something similarly impressive.
