It's not pop that's bad, it's the charts. I'll give some great examples of brilliant pop music: The Beach Boys, The Beatles, The Smiths (more indy than pop, but whatever), Meat Loaf, Tubeway Army.
Besides, pop is too much of a generalisation. As is rock.
Besides, Meat Loaf, could never, ever be considered as 'Heavy Rock'. That's stuff like Led Zep (Robert Plant, swoon).
Ahem. . .carry on.
P.S. The Darkness rule, everyone buy their X-Mas single!
