He’s a culturally significant musician who has released numerous albums and worked with a wide variety of artists, probably most notably David Byrne of Talking Heads.
For example David Bowie’s “I’m Afraid of Americans” that he worked on with Trent Reznor originally started as a collaboration between Bowie and Eno. Reznor cleaned it up and made it radio friendly whereas Eno’s cut was highly experimental as he is wont to do.
Roxy Music as well as creating a ton of soundtracks and being on the cutting edge of music tech for decades. He’s an incredibly interesting and influential artist.
“Ambient 1: Music for Airports” basically invented the genre of specifically-designed ambient music. Before that, it was all background noise and Muzak.
Oh, and coining the term Ambient Music, and being an electronic music pioneer. …Nothing as historic as composing a chime sound for windows, once, however.
What else is he known for?
