I'll think of others, but Bill Graham might be one.

Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

Looking at people IN music I'd guess someone like Phil Spector, though I'm sure he also played some instruments sometimes.

also Lester Bangs (negatively) - who made all rockers think having actuals skills is the enemy of art. We got a generation of childlike grownups that never really learned to listen to music with an open mind. 

He dug krautrock and free jazz himself though...
