These would be the top dogs in the studios or of the controls of a live recording. There have been many great producers over the years and some of them were/are also great musicians, as well. Here are some of my favorites - 1) Sir George Martin, the architect of the Beatles, he helped shape and guide the four lads in the studio. And helped them produce some of the best pop/rock music ever created. What he was able to achieve with the Beatles was simply magical. 2) Jimmy Page, he produced ALL of the Led Zeppelin recordings, and did a masterful job in guiding and shaping their music. He's also been painstakingly remastering all of these recordings. A great guitarist and musician AND a great producer, as well. 3) Phil Spector, the infamous one, his record producing was always an EVENT, and always fantastic and magical to listen to. His "Wall Of Sound" technique will never be rivaled, IMO. It's a shame that his genius also caused him to go nuts, when he murdered his then girlfriend. A true musical genius, but unfortunately highly mentally unstable, as well. Here are a few of my favorites, who are some of yours?
