He's not a "household name musician", either.
Elvis, Beatles, Queen, Kanye West, Rihanna, Madonna, Beyoncé, Adele, etc are household name musicians.
Brian Eno is maybe a strong influence in the field, but few regular people outside of actual musicians have heard of him around the world, I'd venture.
I hadn't known about him before reading his Wikipedia page, just now. And I tend to read a lot :-)
