I stand by what I said about those two artists. I looked them up before I even commented, and they don't seem to have had major media attention or major success anywhere. One UK album chart notwithstanding. I suppose an artist who is a household name in just English-speaking Europe would count as "famous" by my definition, but I don't think many Brits in any age group know who Ben Howard is either. (By the way, fame is only moderately connected to caliber of music. If he's great, maybe he eventually will qualify for this kind of discussion.) I don't mind a few little-known artists being mentioned in this thread, but there have been more than a few.
