Don't know enough about them to say, but I'd wager there was a lot of previous songwriting experience in the band before they recorded an albums together.



What about Mozart? (a 5 years old child is not supposed to have much songwriting experience :P). Anyway discussing this is a bit stupid. There would always been musicians composing excelent music just at the beggining of their "musical training" (what about "The Doors" - one of my personal faves - or Greg Lake -"Lucky Man" was composed when he was 14, much befor joining KC - or many others...) and musical genius that require a lot of experience to start writing good songs (Beatles comes to mind, IMHO they started to make really good music with the "Revolver" album -- Danger! Danger! Beatles' Heresy On The Way :D). In fact, one of the first tunes I wrote on the piano (when I discovered what a "Minor Scale" was :) is now one of my band's favourite tunes.
