Hmm. I've only heard of three of those, Simon included. I may or may not have heard of Robert Black; the page helpfully links to the disambiguation page rather than saying which of the many is anosmic. (It would be a scary fluke if more than one, or even all, of the notable Roberts Black were anosmic.)
I believe Simon is probably the Internet's most famous anosmic, just not famous for being anosmic.
Hmm. Another band name for him: Anosmic Tentacles
PS: I had no idea Stevie Wonder was anosmic as well as blind. Either the two conditions are related or that's really bad luck. )-8
Wonder was in a serious automobile accident while on tour, when a log from a truck went through a passenger window and struck him in the head. This left him in a coma for four days and resulted in a permanent loss of his sense of smell.

Very Gynan-Onix/nominative deterministic :)
Or if not, it's annoying when there's such an unhelpful link. Although I suppose it's a step up from not having a link: so long as it's there, someone will hopefully correct it before someone removes it :)

Looks like the latter: but Bummer, eh?
