It\'s not ridiculous at all. Classical composers like Varèse, Stravinsky and Xenakis are the forefathers of experimental classical music, thus of AvantGardeMusic in general. Same goes for FreeJazz artists like Coltrane and the like. That\'s why they are mentioned here. Björk, Pink Floyd and Radiohead have had mainstream success, but have also made alternative/avantgarde music too. In fact: it\'s the majority of their output. Even Music/FrankZappa had some mainstream notability and success, so in comparison to Music/TheResidents he would be \'\'not as avantgarde\'\'. And Beefheart has released some albums that actually sound quite accessible. But I think that would only lead us to snobbery. I consulted a few encyclopaedia on avantgarde music and these are the artists that are frequently discussed as \'\'avant-garde\'\'. I also mentioned in the article that avantgarde is a mere \'\'umbrella term\'\' for all kinds of progressive, innovative, experimental genres and mentions those genres too: ProgressiveRock, AlternativeRock, NoiseRock, ... to show that some of these artists could be listed in those categories as well. Compare it to our article \'\'Rock\'\', which is also a general terms for all kinds of subgenres. Music/ThePolice is rock and Music/{{Nirvana}} is rock, but there is a world of difference between them too.
