VU's third album is all about pop choruses. My personal interpretation is that everything they did was, depending on the elasticity of your interpretation, a pop song. Even if you don't agree with my self-confessed 'liberal' interpretation of pop, can you really say Sunday Morning is not a pop song? I'm sticking with you? All tomorrow's parties? I'm waiting for the man? VU took pop to other places, and it's easy to conflate the idea of rock music (which follows the verse/ chorus/ verse or verse/ bridge/ chorus [etc] model) with non-pop when pop has, in a huge amount of cases,
exactly the same musical structure as 'rock'.
