I know that.  But for me personally more interesting song results are obtained by deliberately not thinking about music theory on a conscious level.

I kind of have to agree with Zerodrone here.  I have taken music theory, but when I write songs, I don't really think about any of it.  I just play until  I have something that sounds good.

If you can name a single composer or musician that thinks about theory before they mentally process the sound they're creating I'll be very suprised.

Jackie Blue:
Uh.  Almost every single classical composer ever wrote music with theory deliberately in mind, particularly Beethoven.

Patrick:
If you're fluent in the language, you can express yourself a hell of a lot easier.
