It is true that Rumours was considerably different from the other pop music making the charts at the time, but if "pop" is an abbreviation for "popular" how can anyone at this point argue it's not pop? It remains one of the most popular albums of all time. Pop is an evolving thing. (One might say "devolving" in light of the current radio fodder.)
