oh come on now, everyone enjoys some good oral sexin' now and then.
Thrillho:
I like a good hanjob. Oral sex I'm less enthusiastic about. I've always preferred to give it than receive it.
foolsgold:
Wow, exciting, my first post here...
As much as I hate to go back on topic (especially in the midst of a spirited "manipulation" discussion), I've got to throw in a couple producers here. Namely:
John Leckie - Stone Roses, Radiohead, the Verve, the Posies, the Fall
Phil Spector - It is such a pity the guy is a scumbag sociopath, because his records still sound phenomenal.
The Bomb Squad - Public Enemy
Gosh, I had some more in mind but just suffered the "walk into a record store without a list" amnesia.
Sorry.
greenMonkey:
Honestly, I don't pay much attention to producers or engineers. A producer/engineer can and does have a large impact on a band's sound on a recording, but if the band's music isn't good in the first place the producer can't make it good.
That said, Steve Albini is awesome.
Kicker of Elves:
First post. Momentous.
I'd probably give it to Brian Eno. He's one of the few producers (Albini's another) that can manage transform any band into a conduit for his own distinctive sound--notably with Talking Heads.
I am, however, prejudiced in his favor because his work outside production is so brilliant. He didn't produce Bowie's Berlin trilogy, but Low wouldn't have been the masterpiece it was without Eno.
Hell, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts alone warrants his status as one of the greatest studio experimentalists ever.
Plus, he did the music for Spore. Badass.

Perhaps. But what about Loveless? Only about half of its songs (Only Shallow, When You Sleep, Soon, etc.) would be great songs without Kevin Shield's blizzard of guitar. The rest (especially Touched, To Here Knows When, and What You Want) would be too repetitive to survive without Shield's production work.
But as I said, that certainly isn't the case for all of MBV's songs, so you do have a point.
