Pre-Ambient Brian Eno, Kate Bush... Do Art Bears Count?

It's difficult to tackle. I mean, the traits of pop music are usually:

- Heavy production, and usage of
- Clean crisp vocals recorded louder than instruments. Whether there be instruments or not, vocals dictate the direction.
- Short song structures usually 2-5 minutes

Technically, by those rules, I think you have a basic all encompassing overview. Then again unless you consider the actual popularity value factoring in then no... there isn't much good pop out there.
