I love early Megadeth, too. (Listening to their first album, "Killing Is My Business... and Business is Good" right now, coincidentally.) "Rust In Peace" is one of my favorite albums ever, and it holds up right neck and neck w/ Metallica's best.

It wasn't "pop", probably wasn't the best choice of words on my part.
It was akin to 70's arena rock is more like it. They got "pretty" when the best stuff they were doing was more brutal.
