Can't we choose our own alarm tones rather than their pre fixed tones. There's collection is so stupid. Only helium seems to be some what bearable

You should be able to move any mp3 or wav file to the Alarms folder (/storage/sdcard0/Alarms) using any file manager app, and that file should become available to select. You might have to reboot the phone first, but in my experience, it shows up once the file is in the proper folder. You can do the same for Ringtones and Notifications as well.
