This list leaves out Juvenile Truth's No Enemy cassette and Appliances-SFB's SFB, both 1984. Classic Madison punk. Didn't he produce Die Kreuzen's debut?
I'd probably go with Dirty.

One of the Killdozers or L7.

The first Sonic Youth track I heard was "Sugar Kane", which sounded AMAZING to me at the time - obv pretty atypical for SY and even the rest of Dirty doesn't sound much like it, but may vote Dirty just for that
having some trouble working out which of these I like purely due to nostalgia and which still stand up today - a relisten to L7/Helmet/UO may be in order before I can vote, but otherwise Tad is also looking pretty tempting

I often wonder whether producing the likes of Garbage is exactly what Vig's ethos is for.

i.e. making gothic corn sound like the hammer of the gods

I think the reason he produced Garbage is because he was in the band.

Blimey though his workrate was INSANE in the early 90s.
― Matt DC, Friday, 15 April 2011 15:44 (thirteen years ago) link
kinda immaterial though -- lookit what he did with the Pumpkins and SY!

btw folded some consecutive albums with the same band into one poll option to get it under 50
obv someone here doesn't realize that every gumball album is a snowflake

Sorta tempted to vote for New Wave because that shit sounded so great, but I'd be leaving out several albums on this list that I hold near and dear to my heart.

since i can't give Wisconsin Hayride it's due without also repping for the commercial compromises on Super Tasty and the tragic conservative backstepping of The Damage Done (Real Gone Deal is ok tho), I guess I'll vote for Nevermind

If I had a '90s cover band I'd totally name it GumballVEVO

Dirty is so over-compressed that my CD sounds like mp3's. Unless it's just an issue with early-90s CD mastering.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Friday, 15 April 2011 16:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Garbage all the way. Went for "Version 2.0" just over the eponymous debut.

didn't SY produce it with their engineer?
― My mom is all about capital gains tax butthurtedness (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 15 April 2011 16:47 (thirteen years ago) link
oh wait he didn't produce that. why was I thinking he had?
voting either garbage 1, dirty, or freedy johnston's 'this perfect world'.

Runners-up: Nevermind, Gish
Goo was produced by Don Fleming from Gumball iirc.

is Americruiser any good? that was one of the transitional albums from UO-as-disciples-of-Albini to UO-as-prophets-of-the-cockrock-revival, correct?

impressed by the showing for Killdozer, who i literally know nothing about besides their name and that they were produced by Butch Vig.
voted for Siamese Dream and think it's pretty cool and appropriate that it tied w/ Nevermind.
― some dude, Friday, 22 April 2011 01:05 (thirteen years ago) link

"Walk Toward the Sun" is my favorite, but it's as if this never stopped playing in my head. Guess he produced the first Tar Babies too, lots more here:
