and STEVE LILLYWHITE (U2, Morrissey, Rolling Stones, Travis, Siouxsie and the Banshees, XTC, Crowded House, Peter Gabriel, The La’s)

How was Brendan O’Brien not on that list? Other than that, big difference between Rock producers and hip hop…can’t compare. Rick Rubin is the most over hyped producer of all time. The only good thing he touched that blew me away was Blood Sugar Sex Magic…but Brendan O’Brien was heavily involved there too.

Producers get too much credit when a record sounds good and not enough blame when it sounds like crap. WOCKA WOCKA WOCKA!!!

Tom Dowd
Jimmy Miller
Tom Wilson
Joel Dorn
Todd Rundgren

I can not believe nobody’s mentioned Martin Hannett! Absolutely genius producer that revolutionized the way music sounded in the late 70s, especially drums.

Buzzcocks, Joy Division, New Order, U2, Happy Mondays, Stone Roses, OMD, Durutti Column…if Martin Hannett doesn’t get a mention this whole thing is a sham.

Also, Kevin Sheilds for My Bloody Valentine’s ‘Loveless’ – the best production I’ve ever heard.

Some of the best in the game today:
Danger Mouse
The Neptunes
Mark Ronson
Madlib
RJD2
Raphael Saadiq
Jon Brion
Brian Eno
will.i.am
Dan The Automator
Zero 7

Some of the best of all-time:
Rick Rubin
Quincy Jones
DJ Premier
Pete Rock
Trevor Horn
George Martin
Brian Wilson

Nile Rodgers’ work is vastly underrated, especially on Duran Duran’s RIO

Steve Lilywhite
Garrett “Jacknife” Lee
Flood

Kanye West for sure.

Kanye West for sure.

What about Steve Lillywhite (U2, Gabriel, Dave Matthews Band, Phish, etc…)????

Guy Stevens
Jimmy Miller
Stephen Street
Martin Hannett

I agree with your Rick Rubin choice

George Martin, definitely

Roy Thomas Baker, who produced some of my favorite music from my youth, including the Cars and Queen

Don Dixon, ditto, for the Smithereens, Guadalcanal
Diary (I think) and others

His sound eventually became overused and rather stale or
predictable but Jeff Lynne did produce some great
tunes and albums

Glyn Johns

Steve Lillywhite

Brendan O’Brien

Bill Szymczyk

Butch Vig

Wheres Ted Templeman! Hello?

SPECTOR? Martin? Lynne?

Ross Robinson!!!

for example the At the Driver-in album Relationship of command and Roots with Sepultura are monster albums!!

GGGarth is rad, as is RZA. Rick Rubin is pretty damn cool but.

what the fucking fuck?
Nobody ever mentioned Dave Fridmann? That guy is up there with the best of em, without a doubt.

Noone mentioned Scott Litt.
This guy was behind the R.E.M. classics : Document,Green,Out of Time,Automatic for the People,Monster and New Adventures in Hi-Fi.Although Jacknife Lee gets respect for making an R.E.M. album enjoyable again, Litt did it better.
Pat Macarthy was a complete flop every time.
Litt also remixed some songs for In Utero as Kurt Cobain was unhappy with Alini’s recordings.
Other greats IMO:
Butch Vig
Terry Date
Flood
Michael Beinhorn
