I think I am a fan of pop-music insofar as it refers to hooks in music. But I enjoy the twisted interpretations of pop music. In my eye, even Sonic Youth is a pop band, as far as their major label releases go.
Here's some of the bands I enjoy aside from Sonic Youth:
Animal Collective
Deerhoof
the Beatles
the Velvet Underground
Jimi Hendrix
Ween
Brian Jonestown Massacre
the Rolling Stones
the Doors
Jefferson Airplane
Nirvana
Meat Puppets
Pixies
Smashing Pumpkins
REM
Johnny Cash
Nofx
Rancid
Operation Ivy
Built to Spill
Weezer
Neutral Milk Hotel
Olivia Tremor Control
Elf Power
Television
Talking Heads
Devendra Banhart
Wu-Tang Clan
Outkast
the Beastie Boys
Rage Against the Machine
Sublime
the Grateful Dead
Janis Joplin
Yo La Tengo
Beck
Blonde Redhead
the Beach Boys
Pink Floyd
there's more but i'm going to stop. I enjoy weird for the sake of weird music sometimes too, and instrumental bands like tortoise, no neck blues band, sunburned hand of the man.
