	Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

	Interesting, though I don't think there's anything particularly new about that. Look at "Stairway To Heaven" or "Bohemian Rhapsody" or even "Yesterday" by The Beatles. The verse-chorus form is simply one way you can construct a song but its far from the only way. Also, in one of their graphs they label Aretha's "A Natural Woman" as "You Make Me Feel"?
