I think that it was my unlikely purchase of a Coal Chamber album that finally tipped the balance in "rock's" favour.

doesn't selling a lot of albums automatically make something "pop" as in popular, as in enjoyed by many?
maybe it's because that hacker busted into Madonna's website and put up all her songs for free.


Actually, in all seriousness, I can see this becoming the norm as file-sharing continues to grow (relatively) unchecked.
In the spirit of gross generalizations that this thread was started in: Rock fans, or rockists, feel a certain amount of loyalty to artists, while pop fans, or suckers, mainly are beholden only to a particular song.

I blame Busted. For everything.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for commercial viability.
