Uh.

In a band, usually everybody "write" their own parts. It's called arranging. People take the skeleton of the song and put their own stuff on it.

If a song is based on a riff, it's usually written by the writers of the song, like Bad Name. Keep The Faith is just a bass pattern, it's not really a part of the song, so I think it's the bassist who's come up with it, and in this case that would be Hugh. Alec didn't play on any of the records since 7800', at least that's the rumour.

So, the bottom line: each member "writes" his own stuff, but they work it out together to from a song.
