One of the original "Trans"-persons. He went from this in the 70s:

To this today.

It was a fad then that he outgrew. Its a fad today that the "trans" people will outgrow.

One of the original "Trans"-persons.

"Eno made his recording debut as the synthesizer player and founding member of Roxy Music, a group led by preening frontman Bryan Ferry. Eno joined the group after encountering saxophonist Andy Mackay in a subway station, and true to his future behind-the-scenes work, he initially did not appear onstage during the group's performances. He first performed from backstage, operating a mixer, an analog synth, and singing backing vocals unseen, though he eventually joined in the glam makeup and costumes of the rest of the band." So like his friend David Bowie it was a successful marketing angle of the time.

In my humble opinion these are his best albums:

Roxy Music, Roxy Music
Roxy

Here Come the Warm Jets
Here

Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy
Taking

After these he dove deep into his own weirdness to make "ambient music" I just couldn't relate to. Huge credit, though, for going on to produce some hugely successful albums for other artists over the years like U2, Coldplay and Devo besides scoring several films.

Here he is with Roxy Music playing synthesizer on "Editions of You". Back then it was a new experimental instrument only he and Rick Wakeman were working with.
