Alan McGee

Alan McGee is one of those figures I genuinely revere. Out of Glasgow, he built Creation Records and signed Oasis, helping detonate the entire Britpop era. Label boss, manager, DJ, even a Guardian blogger, he shaped culture through sheer ears and nerve rather than money. What impresses me most is his instinct, the unteachable knack for hearing a great record before anyone else agreed. I'm always drawn to the behind-the-scenes operators who move whole movements on conviction. McGee proved that a single stubborn taste-maker can rewrite a decade of music, and that still thrills me.
