I don't know if I'm an 'average gaffan', but I think my tastes are diverse.

I like some artists so much, I'll listen to just about anything I can get my 
hands on.  These include: Philip Glass, Dead Can Dance, Brian Eno, Robert 
Fripp, the Roches, Liz Story, Laurie Anderson, Penguin Cafe, Kronos, and of 
course, Kate.

Other artists/albums of note include: Stiff Little Fingers (Go For It), 
Magazine (Play), Ellen James Society, Suzanne Vega, Indigo Girls, Siouxsie 
and the Banshies, and Pink Floyd (esp. Wish You Were Here... tied for my #1 
favorite album.)

Lately, I've been starting to get into Melissa Ethridge and Ladysmith Black 
Mambazo.

Is this diverse enough?  And I haven't even mentioned classical.  (Nor 
Jazz/Blues, which have yet to cross over to CD for me.)
