Like Phil Spector?

Yeah, like that...

I'm also thinking Curt Boettcher...

He's not even a producer, is he?!? (Although he does sound like a pretty shady manager from the little I've heard about the percentages the actual bands take home from their sales--still management/label heads shafting artists is a tradition older than time, it seems kind of unfair to vilify him and ignore the actions of oh Sam Phillips or Berry Gordy).

LA Reid owns this thread.

Kim Fowley - who looks like my no-good grandfather. The story about him throwing bottles at the Runaways as they practised to 'train them' for the crowds - can this be beaten? I guess Phil Spector did use a gun. There was a really great guy in Auckland called Z Bob too.

Hannett, Leckie and Briggs.

Patrick Adams and Greg Carmichael

Joe Meek, Shadow Morton.

Do the Neps and Timbo count, what with Bubba Sparxxx, Tweet, Clipse, etc?

― Nick H, Thursday, 5 December 2002 17:32 (twenty-three years ago)

BERTRAND

jermaine dupri?

I gotta say: Kim Fowley may be one of the best. Did anyone read that massive Ugly Things feature on him last year? It was incredible!
