It's a great album for sure. And I don't know how I would classify it, but pop seems like a stretch.

How popular do you think this Janis Ian release is among anyone other than an audiophile? To me, pop music is something that has been spun to death on the radio and is instantly recognizable. This record far exceeds anything like that.

Just don't be surprised if no one understands what you are trying to say.
"Pop" is simply an abbreviation for POPULAR MUSIC as opposed to serious music
That record was certainly more popular than any release of Stockhausen's music. And for good reason.
The record was nominated for a GRAMMY which means it must have been above average "popular".

The Name Janis Ian..brought a smile. Haven't heard that name in Decades.
I would think that only people that even remember 'her' are retirees. And of that small subset only a few that that still play Lps AND reside here.
to produce it after none of the major labels showed any interest. With songs about spousal abuse, the Holocaust and incest, it's not exactly "light weight."
