Certainly all three of those mentioned have either had the ability to remain still at the centre of the maelstrom or the personal gravity to attract talent to them.
The charisma is not just restricted to musicians!
But the potential dangers are also equally available.
Martin Hannett, who produced Joy Division amongst others, certainly had the potential to become a latterday Spector, at least in terms of talent, had he not fallen to the typical music biz curses.
25 after the event I do not think Atmosphere has dated (drum sound apart perhaps) and it still stands alongside anything in music, anything at all.
Talent is drawn to talent.
John Curd the tour promotor I used to work for is one such character having moved from a mod DJ to a promotor and record company owner.
The fact he never achieved (as far as I know) the probable huge financial rewards of some of the others is not the point. During the 70-80s bands were drawn to John like well I was going to say sharks to blood, but who was the shark may be open to discussion!!
