is their image really all that different to UR, basic channel, KDJ, etc? are they pop simply because more people listen to their music? i mean, "da funk" is nothing substantially different from many other house tunes, yet people who dont know anything about dance music still like it. i dont see how any element of that song makes it pop aside from the fact that large numbers of people like it. and if that is the only definition, then who cares? kraftwerk were pop music by that definition. tom
