Albert Hammond and Jim Steinman.
God knows how many of their recordings have become hits for others.

Karl-Heinz Stockhausen?
Not my cup of tea but an electronic pioneer who the Beatles say influenced the recording of strawberry Fields(just found that out while googling correct spelling of his name) and whose students include band members from Can and Kraftwerk.

Only mention him as listening to the Fall on Spotify today and on came I am Damo Suzuki (singer in Can).
