I've always thought of pop as rock that achieved commercial success.

What's funny about that one is that I knew the song title but not the band/artist name.

If Michael Jackson is pop, then there's really not much difference between pop and rock anyway.  That distinction was relevant in the 50s and 60s but with more rock influences getting into pop via ABBA and later on MJ, it is not, anymore, at least so long as it's not from the artsy side or the out and out hard rocking side of rock.

The Go-Gos! This has got to be pop! I like this band.
 
Paula Abdul on the other hand is too squeeky clean and cute for me but
maybe you'll disagree.

Yah, I see what you mean. In my mind, almost anything that follows the hit making formula: verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, verse, chorus and out is pop. How about "bubblegum"?
