As I think of the traditional pop song, I think of the structure: verse/chorus/verse/chorus/instrumental solo/chorus. I was thinking of making a list of the BB/BW songs that are perform in such a way that avoids that structure. Feel free to add any:

Most of Pet Sounds/Smile/Smiley

Endless Harmony
Winds of Change
When Girls Get Together
Trader
Add Some Music
You Need a Mess of Help*
Solar System
Getcha Back*
Talk To Me/Tallahassee Lassie
Male Ego
TM Song
Sweet Mountain*
Sunshine*
Sail On Sailor
Til I Die
Airplane
Funky Pretty
Let the Wind Blow
Time to Get alone
Day in the Life of a Tree
The Night Was so Young

the ones with *'s are ones I'm not quite sure of.

This Whole World and Surf's Up were the first two that popped into my head.

Every time you spell Smile as SMiLE, an angel's wings are forcibly torn off its body.

Heroes and Villains - the 'heroes' part features impressive ragtime-esque modulations and harmonies but only has two chords

You Still Believe in Me- combines elements of bach (heavy reliance on V-I movement), jazz (progressions, dissonant chord in chorus) and God (the harmonies at the end)
