Being formulaic isn't part of pop's requirements and you seem to have acknowledged this by specifying "formulaic pop band"

It's becoming a matter of semantics.

I disagree with your use of the word "semantics".

I guess so. I still dont think they were a pop band. That is just a poor and lazy way to describe their music.

Well it's one of the most general of descriptions to call their music. It's like calling The Beatles rock.

They were rock. Rock hasnt always been hard and fast and flashy.

Because it wasnt fast or flashy doesnt mean it wasnt rock. Plus, they had harder songs like "Helter Skelter" an "Yer Blues".

Because it's rock doesn't mean it's not also pop. In fact there's a whole genre just for that. Pop rock.
