It's a combination of things. First things first, you have to ask yourself do you really know all the keys and all the chords withing those keys well? There is no point in making songs with key changes, if you are not completely familiar with all the keys involved right?
But, this is just the beginning of the songwriting story. When making a song, first you learn the rules, then you break them. Modern song doesn't have to follow strict tonal changes, like in theory books, or in classical music. You should definitely spend a LOT time making a number of songs. Most of them will, well.. suck. But, it's normal. Some will come out good, and those songs you choose for albums. All the bands you named do the same thing - make lots of songs and choose only the best, so this is why they sound good. So start your theory work, and start doing lots of songs. In time it will be OK. This would be my advice to you. But if you think there is more to it, let's discuss this topic further, and see what other things we can come up to. I'm sure everybody have good advices, some of which I couldn't think of. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
