Who's Eno? This guy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eno_(rapper)
Seems like an obscure reference more than a household name :-)
At least outside of DACH.

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 :-)
How do we determine who is? Is Vangelis?
This is not rocket science.
Artsy musicians ain't it.
Vangelis îs a lot closer to that than Eno, amusingly :-)
That said, I completely agree that you can't expect any young people to know who he is.
I did list Elvis and Beatles and I can list more stuff from the 50s and 60s onwards. Brian Eno would not be on those lists.
