Grainge and Robinson top hospital movers and shakers list

The Hospital's members' survey has ranked the most influential music and media figures, with Lucian Grainge topping the established list and Peter Robinson the emerging list.

London-based private members club The Hospital has surveyed its members for a second time regarding the 100 most important movers and shakers in the creative and media industries (they did a similar survey last year).

That, of course, covers music, which means we now know which music business types Hospital members reckon are doing more moving and shaking than anyone else - in the sense of being important and influential, not in the sense they do more drugs.

There are two lists of music types in the Hospital's survey - emerging and established. I'm not entirely sure what the difference is - Popjustice's Peter Robinson tops the former, and he's been around for years. But whatever, here are the two lists for your enjoyment...

Emerging
1. Peter Robinson, Popjustice - Freelance music journalist
2. James Ford, Simian Mobile Disco - Musical composer, record producer and musician
3. Florence Welch - Singer
4. VV Brown - Singer
5. Edward Gardner, English National Opera - Director/ Conductor

Established
1. Lucian Grainge, Universal Music Group International - Chair and CEO
2. Elbow - Musicians
3. Tony Hall, Royal Opera House - CEO
4. Thom Yorke, Radiohead - Musician
5. Paul Latham, Live Nation - President
