Team Radiohead | No 14

Artists: Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien, Phil Selway Managers: Chris ­Hufford, Bryce Edge and Brian Message The music , of course, remains the focus, and the esteem in which ­Radiohead are held by a peer group of vast breadth means their influence would be ­considerable even if their sales were not huge. But the innovative approach taken by the Oxfordshire band and their management to the mechanics of the music business – such as in Hufford's and Edge's " pay what you like " ­pricing of In Rainbows – has reverberations that affect everyone. Former accountant Message, who joined Hufford and Edge as Radiohead co-manager in 1995, also runs the ATC Management company (handling Eliza Doolittle, Kate Nash and Rumer), which secures private funding for its clients' recordings and tours.
