I guess the name of the thread was open-ended, but I guess I was thinking of his singing rather than his song-writing abilities. How much did he actually write anyway? I looked on the 'Pedia and saw that at least on the debut he had credits on all but two songs. Just about the whole band had multiple credits though, so it's hard to tell if they gave credit freely or it was really a band effort. Either way, I can't tell just how much he was responsible for the actual music.
