Answer 2

In my opinion the best producer of records would have to be Robert "Mutt" Lange. I don't have 3 reasons but the reason I choose him over someone like Bob Rock is that he is able to change his style with each artist, assist in the songwriting process oh wait a minute i think Rick Rubin is the best yeah im changing my mind Rick Rubin is better than Mutt

Answer 3

Mutt Lange is definately good (from City Boy to the Cars) also John Leckie, Daniel Lanois, Steve Albini, Roy Thomas Baker. It tends depend on the style of the artist.

Answer 4

Since this is under the Music category I will say, John Williams
reasons:1. Money, 2. Emmys, 3. Oscars

Answer 5

Rick Rubin
Don Gilmore

Answer 6

If we're talking music, George Martin. He turned the Beatles from an above-average skiffle band into the great pop group of all time. All the clever orchestrations and arrangements were his.

RZA is an striking producer, what are you speaking about? Timbaland is commercial even if it does no longer mean he sucks. Kanye West is proper 10 all time in my opinion. something suck even if.
