I'm speculating, but if the idea is to shun or shirk (or ban?) the music of such people, I fail to see the point. Even I listen to Wagner on occasion, magnificent pompous pretentious composer that he was (although I sing along to "Ride of the Valkyries" by singing "Kill the wabbit! Kill the wabbit! ...") If the music is worth listening to, it's worth listening to. Frankly, I have no idea why you're interested in compiling this list, but I just thought I'd comment on this possible reason that some people use as a means of deciding who (not) to listen to.
