McClaren was horrible. Yes he changed the music industry, all the shallow, evil things about it were started by him. He turned pop into pedo porn.
When he put Bow Wow Wow together in the 80s, he told the 13 year old lead singer that the band wouldn't get anywhere whilst she was still a virgin. He then got the band to draw straws to determine who would deflower her.
He tried to start a magazine called "Chicken" that was essentially child pornography. He bullied said Bow Wow Wow singer into doing nude photo shoots for it, and photos have also been found of an 8 year old indian boy posing with adults wearing loincloths too small to cover their genitals.

@ Vespa, I think you've totally misunderstood mclarren's aims. he didn't give a shit about bands, music, it was all part of 'punk' as he saw it...
Chicken WAS a child pornography magazine, a publicity stunt - an attempt to expose pop music as porn for children. He was using his status, Bow Wow Wow, Anabella Lwin's age to implement the media (particularly EMI and the BBC) in the scandal (much like the Jonas brothers/Disney South Park episode but 30 years earlier).
While I don't want to defend the fella; you can't take any of his work at face value (i've never read that virginity thing before)... Bow Wow Wow were a great group and Lwin was pimped out to pre-pubescent teens by the media without a moment's thought wether it was right or not (ask any 40 yr old about her and watch them swoon).
