I write my own stuff, but never recycle the same material. A lot of my songs I have recorded contain polyrhythms beneath the simplest melodies, and I don't think that I'll ever see Chasez and co ever passing any kind of musical theory exam. People that write music, all power to them, but if you can't write your own, you have no right to, if you know they're not going to turn out right.
