Here's my list in random order:

Norman Whitfield--what a dude!!

Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis--CONSISTENCY!

Quincy Jones--the god of 'em all, they should change the name from "Grammy" to a "Quincy" ("And the winner of the Quincy is...")

Hal Davis--became the main producer of the J5 after he produced "I'll Be There"

Arif Mardin--classy.

George Martin--he's George, nuff said.

Full Force--being typecast as a bunch of muscle-bound, jheri curl wearin thugs hindered their career...still haven't got their props for being the first hip-hop band and the TRUE creators of New Jack Swing (melodious pop and r&b over stomping hip-hop tracks)

Dr. Dre--the only rap music producer worthy enough to be on this list.

Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff--T.S.O.P. in the house!

Roger Troutman--the last branch on the "funk" family tree, R.I.P. I miss you!

Wrong forum big man!

For GD, it should read, Top 10 Record Producers I'd like to shag!

I'd shag them all!



nb: not at the same time, that would be dirty

Despite my issue with your leaving out Bob Thiele and Gil Evans, among other great jazz producers, I would recommend this for the Non-Prince forum.

My bad. Ian can move it later if y'all keep bitchin' long enuff. Didn't mean to piss everyone off...

only messing

Uh oh, now I fucked up the emoticon. Better get my ass outta here. U ready to go, Just "K"?

There was a thread like this before. Here's my 10 (In no paaticlar order):

1.Sir George Martin
2.Quincy Jones
3.Jimmy Page
4.The Langer/Winstanley team
5.Phil Spector
6.Chris Thomas
7.Brian Eno
8.Rick Rubin
9.Steve Lilywhite
10.Nile Rogers

(In no particular order):

1.Jeff Lynne
2.Quincy Jones
3.Jimmy Page
4.Frank Zappa
5.Phil Spector
6.Hawksley Workman
7.Bela Fleck
8.Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis

Those are the only 8 I can recall that really stand out to me as fantastic. Producers that are remembered are usually remembered for producing hits, and I don't like most hits.

OH MY GOD!!! i love Hawksley! he has played loadsa gigs in London over the last tow years and i just can't get enuff of him. i even have turned a couple of ppl onto him. rock on Hawksley!!!

milty said:

Yeah, a fellow canuck he is. Only 3 albums so far, one a Christmas album, but already quite a following.

The words on his CDs:

Produced, Arranged and Performed By Hawksley Workman should indicate to Prince fans the type of person he is.

Very eccentric, very weird, great sound. Young guy. Full of potential.

savoirfaire said:

he already has it. let's just hope he doesn't get religious on us.

Mike E. Clark.


you will laugh when i tell you this, but he was the producer of Insane Clown Posse's earlier stuff. The guy was amazing. Once he left, they went down the shitter.
