The first couple of entries make sense. But... Dire Straits?! WTF? From
there on it just makes less and less sense. o_O

Why?
I don't know Enya (or, well, maybe I just don't know the name), but if
bears /any/ resemblance to music from Clannad, then I know at least one
Dire Straits album (actually the only Dire Straits album I know ;-))
they might enjoy as well, and Fleetwood Mac fits pretty well, too.
I'm just a bit puzzled about seeing Madonna and Michael Jackson named in
the same list as Clannad, Dire Straits and Fleetwood Mac, so maybe I'm
terribly wrong about Enya; but then I couldn't agree with your statement
about the first couple of entries.
Also note that Clannad != Clannad, Fleetwood Mac != Fleetwood Mac (both
changed their music significantly over time), and maybe also Dire
Straits != Dire Straits (for instance the Dire Straits album I own
features a Knopfler solo live performance CD, which I find much better -
and a much better fit to Clannad and Fleetwood Mac besides - than the
Dire Straits performances of the same pieces).

I own CD's from Enya, Clannad and other Celtic / Irish / Scottish stuff.
Even had a tape from Andy Steward. Loreena McKennitt (Lady of Shallot,
Portmore) is nice, too.
Nonetheless, when the mood takes me, I like to listen to Madonna, Dire
Straits and (long ago) from Michael Jackson, too. Visage, Pet Shop Boys, the
whole 80's stuff. Boney M (very long ago), Barclay James Harvest - all these
brings fond memories. And when I still had a comparatively fast car:
Steppenwolf and Genesis rock at 140 mph ;-)
Nice to hear that other people have the same mixed taste as I have...
However, I abhor "classical" music - I really do. I find it lame and tame.
Yes, I admit: ain't got no class, ain't got no style...

Vocally, a lot. She was with Clannad in their early days - she's a Brennan.
I don't think there's anything strange about Dire Straits being in the list
either. Clannad and Straits are both significant presences on my shelves!

You mean someone who buys Enya doesn't buy Dire Straits? Why not?

Ah! then maybe I've even heard something of her. And if not, then I
probably should.

I think 'Orinoco flow' may be the most well known song by her. Why don't
you try youtube and don't tell anybody I suggested that.

Well, presumably people who aren't me have, you know, "normal" tastes in
music. As in, they like one particular style and only listen to that.
Also, while I'm sure probably a lot of people who buy X also buy
unrelated Y, there would have to be a hell of a lot of people buying
*the same* unrelated Y for the statistics to pan out like this... which
would be a really big coincidence.
