trent reznor/alan moulder (nin)

sylvia massey (chilli peppers, smashing pumpkins, tool, foos)

[Shiri]

Definitely Steve Albini and also Butch Vig isn't bad.

Hey wait a sec. You forgot about Dre.

Brendan O'Brien

Rick Rubin

and for just rap, I think Kanye West does a good job.

Mike Portnoy

Terry Brown

Peter Collins

dre is good. no doubt, no doubt. what would "even deeper" be without him?

Steve Albini worked Fuck World Trade up so sexual, and really brought out their classical influences, which were really buried on all of their other albums, and he did a good job on In Utero, even if Nirvana themselves weren't happy with it.

 

 

For the most part, i think producers are overrated, but they are essential sometimes. If a band / asrtist has a compplete vision for the work, it could be pointless, but i think more times than not, it's good to go with one.

I'll just add Rick Parashar to the stunning list of Producers.
