Agh, what a guess...
One I always liked was c#m->E->B->D#->c#m
It sounded great in context, the verse looped around that a number of times before keeping a c#m groove for a while. It had a very particular melody with it, and the D# sounded almost dominant, tho' of course it had nothing to do with the key..

It's designed to be useable by people who can't read music - which is a good idea
Still, when I play around with these kind of formulas, I begin to understand why computer generated music never really seems to GO anywhere...
I guess you need some kind of broader structure on top of this basic chord-to-chord stuff...
