― unorthodox economic revenge (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 20 October 2011 21:59 (twelve years ago) link
surprised at the lack of predictions on this thread tbh
Eno #1?
― treeses, help me find my proper place (Pillbox), Thursday, 20 October 2011 22:01 (twelve years ago) link
As much as I am absolutely no fan of hip-hop, I like seeing Dr. Dre up there and I think his place is deserved. Although I don't like his recent style as much as I did his G-Funk style, he does a great production job whenever he is involved. Pity he doesn't do more non-hip-hop. ;)

annoyed I can't find the interview quote where Visconti talks about Eno getting credit for his work (something along the lines of "it's my name on those records!")

10. Chic Organisation (275 points, 9 votes, 2 #1 votes)http://www.chictribute.com/gallery/bilder/sister79.jpgCredits: Chic, Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, David Bowie, Duran Duran, many others
Been looking forward to this Top 10, because there's a fair few that have already been mentioned which I thought would have been WAY up there. The Chic Organisation, I definitely didn't expect as a #10 position.
― Turrican, Thursday, 20 October 2011 22:08 (twelve years ago) link
I was thinking Nile Rodgers alone, not the Chic Organisation
― Everything else is secondary (Lee626), Thursday, 20 October 2011 22:09 (twelve years ago) link
there were a bunch of votes for Rodgers & Edwards, Chic, and the Chic Organization so I just combined them all. they were ahead as front runners very early on.

a lot of his 80s stuff is depressing, unfortunately. dude did not need guitar solos.

I used to like Giorgio Moroder's production work until 1986 or so

I'll guess perry-martin-eno top 3
― you don't exist in the database (woof), Thursday, 20 October 2011 22:45 (twelve years ago) link
Richard Perry?
― unorthodox economic revenge (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 20 October 2011 22:47 (twelve years ago) link
anyway Plank, what can you say about this guy - a master of slapback echo and tape delay
Really really pleased to see Conny Plank in the Top 10. His work on the three albums he did with Ultravox alone still sounds fresh, and that was pretty late career for him wasn't it?
― Turrican, Thursday, 20 October 2011 22:49 (twelve years ago) link

so young and dashing
Only #4, eh? I predict that Nigel Godrich is one of the top three, then.
― Turrican, Thursday, 20 October 2011 23:15 (twelve years ago) link
Perry had 355 points, not 255 btw
― unorthodox economic revenge (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 20 October 2011 23:20 (twelve years ago) link
still, a 100 point jump between him and George Martin

― unorthodox economic revenge (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 20 October 2011 23:25 (twelve years ago) link
have to say I was a bit disappointed in this - don't get me wrong, he's great and a massive figure in the biz obviously but my favorite things he was involved with tend to be things he did not actually produce (Roxy Music, Bowie Berlin trilogy) and his best production work imho is actually Remain in Light. Most everything post mid-80s has been garbage tho. and I hate U2. so there.
― unorthodox economic revenge (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 20 October 2011 23:26 (twelve years ago) link
honestly at a loss as to who #1 is. If it is Godrich, that is way too high imo
