This site, being what it is, now we should start arguing about who is the best producer of all time, and how [insert name] was rubbish after [insert album] and should've stopped making records.
It would be a hard thing to quantify, though. Producer, is such a slippery term. You could praise a producer for having a recognisable sound, or condemn them for forcing their sound on everything they do. Some producers' genius is purely in getting great performances out of an artist, and are otherwise invisible. Some are consistent, and some are shape-shifting over time.
Yeah, sometimes the best producers are the ones who have a very specific style and sound, and sometimes the best ones are the ones who didn't have any identifiable Style. I like a lot of both kinds. There's lots of both that I've always liked.
Sometimes big name producers with very identifiable sounds can overwhelm bands a bit. Nigel Godrich's work outside of Radiohead springs to mind. Dave Friedman when he's not producing the Flaming Lips. Maybe even when he is producing the Flaming Lips.
Very true. It's got to be a good matchup between producer and artist. With a certain type of artist, it's really appropriate to have the kind of producer who likes big extravagant productions with umpteen instruments. But some artists are better off with a producer who keeps it simple with just a few instruments.
Another amazing producer, that many call the best in the business is Bob Ezrin.
He has worked with all the big name bands in the world.
Most notably is Pink Floyd- The Wall, Kiss-Destroyer, Alice Cooper= Greatest Hits, Killer, Schools out, Lou Reed-Berlin........ the list is too long.

one of my favorites too. In fact, there are albums where he's the whole show. There's really nothing else going on on the album besides him, because the artist and the material itself wasn't all that great, and yet it's still a great album. that's how I knew he must be great. he's one of those producers who could take crap and turn it into gold.

And don't forget Frida- There's Something Going On!!! It's an awesome sounding record!!! 😁😁
Apparently Trevor Horn has been referred to as "the man who invented the 80's". I do remember that he produced the "Do They Know Its Christmas" single, and that's gotta be one of the worst songs of the 80's. "Owner Of A Lonely Heart" was pretty great. Frankie Goes To Hollywood is a case in point of a producer imposing his sound on a record. I found it pretty humorous that he produced Robbie Williams, "Reality Killed The Video Star", having been a Buggle when "Video Killed The Radio Star".
