Posted June 14, 200817 yr For me one of the all time great producers was George Martin who worked with the Beatles. But what other producers left their mark in the last 40 or so years?
June 15, 200817 yr Martin Hannett (Joy Division) Alan Moulder (Curve, Smashing Pumpkins, NIN) Brian Eno
June 15, 200817 yr Rick Rubin - he has done Beastie Boys, System of a Down, Rage Against The Machine, Johnny Cash, Run DMC, LL Cool J, Slayer, Public Enemy, AC/DC, Jay Z, Slipknot, Weezer, Linkin Park and LOADS more since the 80's.
June 15, 200817 yr Trevor Horn would have to be up there - His production on tracks by ABC, Pet Shop Boys, Tatu, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Propaganda, Dollar etc are sublime
June 15, 200817 yr Phil Spector is definately one of the greatest with the Wall Of Sound he gave us the following acts: The Crystals - rememeber Da Doo Ron Ron - Then He Kissed Me etc. The Ronettes - remember Baby I Love You - Be My Baby - Walking In The Rain - You Came You Saw You Conquered etc. Righteous Brothers - remember - You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' - Unchained Melody etc. Ike & Tina Turner - remember - River Deep Mountain High - A Love Like Yours - I'll Never Need More Than This etc. Teddy Bears - remember - To Know Him Is To Love Him Sonny Charles & Checkmates Ltd. - remember - Love Is All I Have To Give - Black Pearl - Proud Mary etc And many more John Lennon - Instant Karma And he worked with many other artists such as The Beatles, Gene Pitney, The Ramones,
June 16, 200817 yr For me one of the all time great producers was George Martin who worked with the Beatles. But what other producers left their mark in the last 40 or so years? George Martin would spring immediately to my mind too. I'd also rate Quincy Jones rather highly though. Norma
June 16, 200817 yr Giorgio Moroder - for every 'Son of my Father' there was an 'I Feel Love'! Not forgetting 'Together In Electric Dreams' ft Phil Oakey.
June 16, 200817 yr cant deny watertwats success in shifting units, if thats the benchmark of a successful producer!
June 20, 200817 yr And he worked with many other artists such as The Beatles Shame that his work with The Beatles was so shockingly bad.
June 20, 200817 yr Alex Sadkin - mastermind behind all the early Grace Jones tracks - his production was breathtaking - crisp, uncluttered and gorgeous. He met an untimely end in a car crash in Nassau - RIP. The Insects - Bristol production team responsible for Massive Attack, Portishead, Alison Moyet and Goldfrapp's greatest work. Giorgio Moroder - a visionary. A genius in fact.
