These are all short words full of the most common letters, so will make designing crosswords easier because they'll be useful "crossers".
But why references to musicians?
I assume it's just an example of how to create new topical words since it's a lot easier to name an album than to get a word well-known enough to be eligible for the dictionary.
The artists all seem to be big names so I assume it's their popularity rather than any history of quirky album names that's decided the list.
