Echoing your comments on that!  Remember where Brian Eno's stuff was in the
"conventional" music stores until he helped U2 become somewhat listenable?
:)  It was a range of "Experimental", "Electronic", the cursed "New Age",
and sometimes, believe it or not, "Soundtracks", but never with the Roxy
Music material, nor in "Rock".  Then when the work for U2 came along, he 
got
put in the "Rock" section.  I think it illuminates one of the reasons why
the Established Music Industry still can't identify the smell of the tires
that ran over them two years ago.
