I grew up listening to musical theatre, and there's a precision in the writing -- perfect rhymes, perfect meter are expected; and the vocabulary available for that genre is much greater. (And of couse, I got spoiled listening to Sondheim).
But since writing in popular genres, I'm getting much more comfortable with near-rhymes. They are often just the thing. There are times when I will deliberately reach for one so the rhyming isn't too "perfect," if that's what suits the song.

"First came if only? Then came what if? After that I'll bet. Next was just maybe. Followed by Aha, I thought so! And eventually, okay, what next!" -Brian Austin Whitney on the stages of creativity and Just Plain Folks.
