* Music/{{Coldplay}}'s albums ''Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends'' (2008) and ''Mylo Xyloto'' (2011). Notably, for ''Viva la Vida'', Eno point-blank told the band exactly what parts of their style completely sucked once he accepted the job and set out to correct those perceived flaws.

* ScaryMusicianHarmlessMusic: His music since the '70s has tended towards the serene and floaty end of things, but as his published diaries reveal, [[HairTriggerTemper he has something of a temper]]. When he made ''Wrong Way Up'' with Music/JohnCale, they... clashed.

In short, Brian Eno is awesome and you should listen to him.

He contributed heavily to Music/DavidBowie's "Berlin trilogy" (''[[Music/LowDavidBowieAlbum Low]]'', ''[[Music/HeroesDavidBowieAlbum "Heroes"]]'', and ''Music/{{Lodger}}''), to the point that he and producer Tony Visconti are considered the architects of those albums' sound (and Eno is often mis-credited as co-producing those albums; he ''did'', however, produce Bowie's later album ''Music/{{Outside}}''). He also released two critically acclaimed collaborations with Music/DavidByrne, ''Music/MyLifeInTheBushOfGhosts'' and ''Music/EverythingThatHappensWillHappenToday'', and co-produced Byrne's 2018 solo album ''Music/AmericanUtopia''. His involvement with the music industry is so deeply entrenched that his Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} article once included a detailed web diagram showing off just how many connections he has with other ProgressiveRock artists alone; he's ''that'' prolific.

Simultaneously, Eno entered into a long TrueArt[=y=] collaboration with Robert Fripp based around a tape-delay system nicknamed "Frippertronics" and minimalist influences. Eno and Fripp released three albums together: ''(No Pussyfooting)'', the first, had exactly one 18-minute track per side. The minimalist direction of these albums along with an apocryphal story about staying in the hospital, eventually drove Eno to abandon rock and dedicate himself to ambient music, releasing another series of acclaimed albums starting with ''Music/Ambient1MusicForAirports'' which are considered landmarks of the genre. Since then, his solo music has largely been electronic and ambient in nature.
