I for myself outside of metal i listen to some rock mostly old bands and even pop.
As for pop i like Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel but both are not new and like metal pop was better in the 80's
As for rock i would say Whitesnake,Cutting Crew,Alice cooper,dokken,Led zepplin,deep purple.
I am not ashamed of liking those rock bands more the pop ones.
Try this
Phil collins - I don't care anymore
Phil collins - find a way to my heart
Phil Collins - I can feel it in the air
Cutting crew - (I just) died in your arms
Peter Gabriel - Kiss of life
Peter Gabriel - mercy street
