Tell me... Wich album do You think has the best sound? (Loud, clear porduction and so on). And Who the hell is in Your opinion the best producers... That isn't just a name on the CD... A ot hep a band reach the sound You love about them... The ultimate album when it comes to production is DT's Metropolis pt. II... Try it on headphones... Cristal clear production and that Some Music is Streamed to one part of the headphone and some to the other (I don't know how it's called). The ultimate producers will be either Martin Birch (Deep Purple, Maiden) or Rick Rubin (well... First Mars Volta? The Vol. 3 by Slipknot Blood Sugar Sex Magic by RHCP? ). Slipknots Vol.3 is a great example of what The producer can manage... "Slipknot" and "Iowa" sucked!!! And now? A grand album vol 3... With a lot of damn progressive influences... That guy could make Britney sing in a prog metal band like Opeth (vide Mikael Akerfeld) ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/ed_the_dead/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">

Any post Dark Side Floyd is great. Also, check out Waters's solo album Amused to Death. -------------

Terry Collins and Peter Brown did great producing jobs with Rush. Bob Ezrin is a good producer as well. -------------

Other way round. Peter Collins and Terry Brown I think Terry Brown a great job on all the Rush albums he did. In particular Hemispheres & Moving Pictures. I also really like the production on 'Caress of Steel' Perhaps not one of the best Rush albums, but I love the sound of it. That dry woody drum sound is superb, a little like Phil Collins sound, but perhaps even more natural. I also like David Hentschel who produced Genesis from Trick of the Tail to Duke. Also.. Led Zep IV BTW, agree on Bob Ezrin. The production on The Wall is great, and he was the only producer who managed to make Kiss sound like a proffessional band, on their album Destroyer. That must have been quite a challenge, but he just about got there..

I'm not very interested in sound and producing. The music on an album
is much more important. I'd rather have great music and awful sound
than the other way round. Some of the best albums in our collecion have
an awful sound, but the music is great. Of course good sound is a plus,
but I also think overproducing an album can utterly destroy it.

Old: Eddie Offord, Terry Brown, Bob Ezrin, Waters/Gilmour, whoever produced The Power And The Glory, Free Hand & Interview (they're credited to "Gentle Giant Productions", so I'm guessing Ray, Kerry & Derek), Todd Rundgren
New(ish): Terry Date (love his work with Soundgarden & Pantera), Steven Wilson, whoever produces DT's stuff (Portnoy & Petrucci?) I absolutely HATE the production of just about any '80's album. Gated snares:
