Dire Straits were a Rock band and didn't make Pop songs? Not in my opinion. They made extremely popular guitar-focused music.
I never really cared for the differentiation between Pop, Rock, Pop/Rock, Indie, Alternative, R&B, Soul, Hip-Hop and so on anyway. Most of these terms come and go (e.g. when I was young the term Soul music was already old, but still often used - the term is not used anymore to label today's music). I've always understood the term pop as popular, so nearly every song that was popular at a given time fits in a pop song list in my opinion.
