1001 albums to listen to before you die
Inlander:
I would say it's not exclusively pop. I don't think the Black Saint and the Sinner Lady by Charles Mingus has ever been popular, for instance. Actually I was pleasantly surprised by the number of jazz albums in the 50s and 60s parts of the list - even if most of them are mainstream albums, by that time jazz had well and truly been surplanted as the popular music of the day (not withstanding occasional break-out hits like Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet).

Er... Liars? Lightning Bolt? Gillian Welch? Slayer? Sepultura? Napalm Death? Seriously, if you have hit a point where you think grindcore is pop then you need to go and have a little lie down and a bit of a think about what you're doing with your life (I'm guessing murders. Lots of murders).
Bastardous Bassist:
"Pop" as opposed to "art" music. Sorry if my terminology is not quite common on this board.

What's the distinction?
Spluff:
One is enjoyable to listen to, one is enjoyable to talk about listening to.
