Correction: Bowie is both a "hip critic's darling" AND "very well known". Besides, many of the acts you mentioned as "very well known" are also beloved by critics...
To clarify my point, you kinda have to fit in at least one of those categories to get in, it seems. It helps to be in both, like several of those I mentioned appear to be .
So you can be popular and critically acclaimed (Dylan, Bowie, Prince) or you can be just critically acclaimed (VU, Costello)...
But you CAN'T be just popular without much critical acclaim and get in (Neil Diamond, Moody Blues, Monkees, Sabbath, Judas Priest, Rush )
