So by pop/rock you were alluding to accessibility. That's not at odds with being prog. I'd say plenty of 70s prog bands could probably be described as having had a more "poppy" sound than Muse.

Myself, I see "pop/rock" as referring to a format of rock designed for radio airplay and mass consumption.

At any rate, I don't think Muse are particularly accessible. They're not at all the taste of your average listener. I guarantee most people couldn't stomach Bellamy's ridiculous vocals and the pointless, bombastic scaling riffs. It's much closer to the notion of 'acquired taste'.
