Well, it's good that Scorsese acknowledges that. I used to think that Marty S pretty much invented that usage of pop music in films, due to reading a lot of simplistic film articles and books.
Funnily enough, the last time I remember noticing a piece of music in a film was the usage of Beethoven's 6th Symphony in "Irreversible". It really helps to underpin the scene it's used in.
In the interview, Anger talks about messing around with films like "Rabbit Moon". I've seen a version of "RM" that has a truly terrible piece of faux-glam rock music in it. It pretty much ruined my experience of the film.
