Yes, they were voted as the number one greatest HARD ROCK band of all time by VH1.
They're even classified as something of a proto heavy metal band too.

It's exactly what I said it was:

Pop music is music charted by the number or sales, plays, etc., that the work receives.[1]

Most commercial music of any genre is composed with deliberate intent to appeal to the majority of its contemporaries.[2][3][4]

You see when something sells alot of records or has alot of plays thats popular. I'm not even going to bother replying to your argument please explain to me you got pop is "pop is a corporate enforcing, establishment building movement" out of this.

No, the article said that the music is based on sales, the correlation between populatrity and sales is a necessary side effect, but that doesn't mean that the two concepts are one in the same. Just because popularity is required to sell doesn't mean the music is based on popularity, it is still based on sales.
Here, analogy: Let's say I'm about to grab some cookies because I'm hungry, but I don't like eating cookies without milk. The cookies I'm eating is based on my hunger, not the milk. I'm not eating the cookies
because I have milk, I'm eating them because I am hungry, even though there is a direct correlation with the amount of milk I have, but the milk is not the basis of my cookie consumption.
If I had an infinite amount of milk, does that mean I'm going to eat an infinite amount of cookies? No.
Popularity is correlated to pop music but it's not the basis, it's not the cause. SELLING is the cause. Because popularity is required to sell, you're mistakenly believing it to be the cause.
