A very interesting top 40 article about how many Artists are not using the verse-chorus form anymore. Thought I would share, just scroll down from the top of the page...

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"?
