Did you actually read the thread before posting? We're not pointing at bands we don't like, for the most part.

I'm not so sure. 'Love Will Tear us Apart Again' is pretty poptastic, non? What about 'Transmission'?
Dance dance dance dance dance to the radio!
Thrillho:
They would be if he sang them in tune. I love the guy, but he couldn't hold a melody in a bucket made of vocal chords.
Uber Ritter:
When I say 'pop' I'm thinking more of melodic hooks and song structure than vocal styles. Hell, in my mind much of Boris's Pink (the short songs), Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea and At the Gate's Slaughter of the Soul are all pop in the same way Joy division is--it's pretty straightforward and catchy, it doesn't wander too far and it isn't too strange.
But these days even the Pop Group sounds like, well, a pop group to me.
Trynant:
I think that any band in the Guitar Hero or Rock Band series ends up being "overrated"; this especially applies to songs that are harder to play in the game.
