No kidding. I'm sorry, but some opinions are just...wrong.
I think Nirvana now qualifies as pop, much as Cobain's corpse may do the Charleston at the very thought. Nevermind completely changed the face of popular music. We're still getting over grunge.
Johnny C:
Nevermind was very much a pop album, though. Read interviews with people involved and they knew that what they were making was rock, but very much accessible rock from a man with a talent for writing brilliant pop hooks.

Exactly. It was definitely Nirvana's most well-known album that they ever cut. I mean, they had others that were very popular, but Nevermind is the only one I've seen that everyone who's ever listened to Nirvana knows about.
And WYWH... well... in it's time when it came out it was a pop album. Pink Floyd's always been at the forefront of music in its own time. (See Piper at the Gates of Dawn for reference ^_^) But to say it's not a pop album is semi-correct. Still, I believe it has a place here in this topic.
KharBevNor:
All this doesn't change the fact that even good pop is pretty much on the lowest rung of good music. Doesn't make it not good, but there is so, so, so much better stuff.
Remember, indie pop is just pop that failed.
