There is good music and there is great music... the folk songs of yesteryear were the pop songs of their day... the best of them still endure today.

Music adapts and changes as people seek something new and different some chord that sings to them.

You say "Where I have attempted theory with more effort, I am understood least." This will be because you are not comfortable with the restrictions it places upon you... which means either a. Write what you like and be true to yourself... or b. PRACTICE, PRACTICE and PRACTICE until you are.

Cheers
