There's no right way to write a song. Although most rock songs utilize the familiar verse/chorus/verse structure, there's nothing that says you have to have a chorus to have a good song. This week on Stuck In Thee Garage, I played songs without choruses in hour 2.
This playlist loves you all:
Hour 1
Artist - Song/Album
Gothic Tropic - Stronger/Fast or Feast
Froth - Romance Distractions/Outside (briefly)
Woods - Love is Love/Love is Love

The Wedding Present - Bear/Going, Going...
Boss Hog - Billy/Brood X
Top Down - Primitive and Raw/Rough Roads
Snowball II - Sear 'Em!/Flashes of Quincy
Sinai Vessel - Looseleaf/Brokenlegged
The Proper Ornaments - Cremated (Blown Away)/Foxhole
Bash & Pop - Never Wanted to Know/Anything Could Happen
Baked - I Win/Farnham
Divisionists - All Fall Down/Daybreak
Stove - James and the Giant Moth/Is the Meat That Fell Out
Hour 2: Chorus-free

Sufjan Stevens - John Wayne Gacy, Jr./Come On Feel the Illinoise
