"Obscure" isn't the word I would use -- every pop record store in
the country has HOL -- but she certainly isn't mentioned in the same
breath with Collins or, say, Springsteen.

Wow! Somebody else has heard of Gong!  (Calm down, boy...)
I happen to be moderately fond of all the above.  I'll take Josquin
over chant, Debussy over Bartok, Mannheim Steamroller over Tangerine
Dream, and XTC over Gong, in most moods.  What else should I try?
