WaronWar Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 There have been some lists going around here. So I figured why not a best producers list: Brian Eno George Martin Jim O'Rourke (I know he ruins records) Jack Nitzsche (I think he was on an episode of COPS) Phil Spector Jon Brion Give it go.

Szabo Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 seconded on Rick Rubin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mchchef1 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 How about most full blown bat-shit crazy producer?? Wait, wait I know............Phil Spector, then again Rick Ruben o.k. it's close. Lanios is my recent favorite, RR obviously Show some love for Ted Templeman Speaking of Lanios I bought Teatro again this week-end, I swear I've bought five copies, give em away use em as coasters,etc. Saw it used, missed it had to do it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Heartbreak Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 In addition to Eno, Spector, Lanois & George Martin, I'd say T-Bone Burnett. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
