Why he might be annoying
The artist that launched his recorded label (Arista) was Barry Manilow singing 'Mandy' (1975).
BMG figured he was out of touch with music (2000).
Why he might not be annoying
He discovered Janis Joplin and Bruce Springsteen.
He is considered one of the greatest producers in music.
He is integral in record selections for artists.
BMG tried to take over the control of Arista from him, and it upset both him and Arista's artists.
He decided to stay with BMG and set up a $180 million joint venture to start J Records.
Artists claim that he is honest and honorable.
