Is there a list of iTunes exclusive artists ?

I get most of my music from eMusic (no drm,no subscription and $.50 a track with a download card), then go to iTunes if they don't have it.
Recently I was looking up Paul Simon and eMusic didn't have any. I think he may be exclusive to iTunes.

Paul Simon's music is handled by Warner Bros. Last I checked, EMI was the only company selling mainstream DRM free stuff. He isn't exclusive to iTunes however.

eMusic is almost totally independent artists. You won't find any major-label releases (or at least very, very few) there.

Funny
I guess most of the music I'm interested in isn't mainstream (or from WarnerBro.) because this is the first time I've come up with this situation with eMusic (not having an artist I wanted). Maybe because I usually search for songs. I do think iTunes has exclusive distribution of a few artists and it would be nice if someone knew if there was a list out there or on this site somewhere.
----thanks
**FYI.. I searched eMusic for Bridge Over Troubled Water and found all the early works of Simon and Garfunkel sung live by Art Garfunkel

My guess is that Art is under a different label than Paul Simon is.

The Art Garfunkel album on eMusic is a live album recorded by Art in 1997 and released on an independent label. eMusic does not have any of the Simon & Garfunkel albums which were released on Columbia, nor any of Art's major solo works which are mostly on Sony. Paul's solo work is almost entirely on Warner Bros.
