I`ll break it down so you understand.
Belle & Sebastian are a UK band. The U.K. has a history of making good pop, stretching right back to The Beatles , The Stones , The Kinks , The Small Faces going through T-Rex , The Jam , The Smiths, New Order, The Cure, The Stone Roses ect ect.
Calling them a pop band isn`t the insult you seem to think it is. They are carrying the tradition of many good British pop bands. I`ve seen so many people from North America try to lable these bands anything other than pop & I just find it funny there are people like you who will do anything to avoid the truth.
Belle & Sebastian are a pop band , they say so themselves , now suck it up.

Belle and Sebastian have called themselves pop. But I think this is being confused with pop in terms of popular music, such as Britney Spears and other such nonsense. They are not in that category, hell, half the people in the UK don't even know who Belle and Sebastian are. They're more like a lo-fi pop band for indie types.
