I really do not know how to come back on this. We are both right, and we are both wrong. Pop music to me remains a musical form to people who don't actually like music a great deal, and are totally oblivious to any talent and ideology that is behind music. Pop music at it's purest form is music to make money by, therefore I cannot equate many banRAB with this tag. If they become popular by default, then that is par for the course. If we said that music that is catchy and accessible, then we could add PINK FLOYD/ROLLING STONES/LED ZEPPELIN/METALLICA to this list. They are on big labels, easily reachable to people and they can have instantly recognisable songs. I don't think many of us would dare to say they are pop banRAB, but the description of a pop band would fit the criteria.
