The top 5 producers of all time?

[WARF]

List them here!

[Matt White]

Jimmy Page....the WAGNER of rock.

I'd have gone with TED...he did the 6-pack...but his work with Montrose killed it for him!!!:p

[FORD]

Jimmy Miller - produced the Mick Taylor era Stones albums.

Steve Lillywhite - produced U2's first three albums himself, and has collaborated with the band several times since.

Glyn Johns - worked with just about everyone in the late 60's/early 70's. Produced what should have been the final mix of the Beatles "Get Back/Let It Be". (Spector ruined it) Went from there to the Stones "Get Your Ya-Ya's Out", still considered their best official live album. Moved on to "Who's Next" after that. Hell of an achievement in such a short time. He went on to produce the early Eagles albums after that.

Ted also recorded the last GREAT Aerosmith album, "Done With Mirrors"!!!

[Mr Badguy]

Trevor Horn.

He revolutionized 80`s production.

Listen to Yes "90125" and it`s hard to believe that it is over 20 years old.

[Don Corleone]

Got say Goerge Martin. The work he did with the Beatles laid down the template for the rest of these guys to follow.

[Mr Badguy]

Martin Birch

Deep Purple "Machine Head"
Rainbow "Rising"
Black Sabbath "Heaven And Hell"
Whitesnake "Ready An` Willing"
Iron Maiden "The Number Of The Beast"

To name but five.

[DrMaddVibe]

I gotta 2nd Lillywhite too, Bob Clearmountain, Billy Howerdel, Bob Ezrin and John Hammond round out my other picks for "OTHER"!

[The_KiD]

Robert "Mutt" Lange:

ACDC: Highway to Hell, Black & Black
Def Leppard: High & Dry, Pyromania, Hysteria
Foreigner: 4
The Cars: Heartbeat City
Just to name a few. Not to mention he closed the Deal with Shania Twain and gets to go home to that every night....

I would have to write in Danny Lanois. - He brings out the best in everyone he works with.

[Jérôme Frenchise]

1. Jimi Hendrix (be it "only" for "Electric Ladyland"... man, what album on earth can compete?);

2. Brian Wilson;

3. Jimmy Miller (mostly for "Beggars Banquet" and "Let it Bleed", the outcome of ABKCO's DSD remasters made them more than stellar);

4. Glyn Johns (everybody wanted him as their sound engineer back in the golden years, before he set to production too);

5. Jimmy Page.

That's three Jim(m)ies... Funny coincidence.

Well, all of my top 5 are from the old days, but well, this was when most of it was invented IMO. :cool:

Nothing but yeah

[Dave's Bitch]

i think that Mike Clink is the best,he produced Appetite for Destruction and along with Dave Mustaine Rust in Peace

[FORD]

I can't believe I forgot to mention Rick Rubin.

How many producers could work with Slayer, the Beastie Boys, and Johnny Cash all in the same week?

[Mama's Fool]

Of the new guard, by far it's Rick Rubin.
