I'm of your mind really. I don't hate pop music, though I find a lot of it very surface (duh) with nothing to say to me. However I do have a problem with a band who essentially helped kickstart the prog rock movement turning into just another pop band. Like you, not a fan of Dream Theater, or any other band who can be fairly accused of what I term "technical wankery", as unfortunately too many prog bands can.
