how diverse Top 40 lists were in these years you're talking about. I agree that there is a lot of indie music that's undeniably pop, but that's always been true (see: Magnetic Fields, Gorky's Zygotic Mincy, Super Furry Animals, so on so on).
If you're not accounting for the sounds of the times, then you're leaving something pretty essential to the Top 40 conversation out of the conversation.
