I stand by my original point.  It takes at least one hundred completely finished compositions before a writer of music comes up with anything worth listening to

It hasn't worked for the horrendously over rated, duller than dull, drabber than drab REM.
Indeed! So maybe we should qualify Jon's statement with a caveat stating that there's no guarantee of quality after the first 100.  :-)  BTW, while not being a fan of any era REM, I actually find their earlier stuff more palatable than their later, although public opinion isn't with me. Again.

p.s. Lazy sod that I am, I haven't written anywhere near 100 songs ever. Does this mean I'm still shit?
