No shame in liking what you like. None of the people you named strike me as overly commercial, and I doubt anyone would really judge you for that anyway. I have at least some passing familiarity with everyone you named except Rădulescu. You should geek out about him because as a composer/music school graduate, I live for seeing people geek out about that type of thing in particular.
