Well, that's what I mean, though. Rock is largely a pop form(in fact compare pre-1950s popular music to rock, and to pop, and you'll find rock is much closer to pop which is just a slightly more minimalist form).
When I say too complicated for pop access I mean things like this:
Notice the lack of attempt to create a hook. As the parts are dispersed in smaller more slightly progressing melodies.
Not better, just a tad subtle to be pop.
