Top 5 Producers of all time, In your opinion.

my top 5 (non dance)

Quincy Jones - Cannot be summed up in a sentence (his career spans over 5 decades) but Thriller

RZA - Wu Tang Klan, Grave Diggaz and his Solo work Bob Dijjjeee yes you know who is he - nuff said

Martin Hannett - bit of a cunt but a pioneer

Andre Young aka Dr Dre - NWA, Snoop, Eminem, Busta, 2pac plus an amazing Solo career

Steve Vai - predominantly a guitarist but imo one of the best producers to walk this earth

Wes do you like the Bobby Digital stuff? I havent listened to it for years but I remember thinking it was a bit naff compared to his other output

especially this (glad you mentioned it!)

http://www.discogs.com/release/522174

got it on my mp3 player so going to get some mid day agro going :evil:


edit: actually turns out that Prince Paul did most of it still fucking mint though,

edit2: check out Prince Pauls output http://www.discogs.com/artist/Prince+Paul

So you don't like/listern to any other music other than trance.


Stephen chill i just found it funny that out of the whole wide world of music some people only listed trance producers. I thought techno heads were surposed to be the purists.

Grave diggaz were mint that album 6 feet deep was originally called Niggermortis but it got pulled and and renamed 6 feet deep

my mate has the Niggermortis vinyl propper collectors item now

1-800 Suicide is a my fav off that album

Dark as fuck album like - right up my street

= started ass-kissing local house djs on necl.

surprised noone has mentioned Prince yet? Probably the most talented all rounder of our lifetime

Yes i do.

But if i love trance music and some of my favorite tunes were produced by the people i mentioned then surely they are going to be my top 5 producers of all time IN MY OPINION.

Comprende?

Aye personally i liked RZa's solo stuff

Have you heard domestic violence - creases me up verytime i hear it

You ever heard The Pick The Sickle etc


horrendous

he was next on my list

Good shout mate. What a legend. You going to see him when hes playing in the smoke?

Unfortunately not, sold out the day before i got paid


I'd probably also add Guru, dont like a lot of the stuff but when he gets it right its untouchable in hiphop

stuff like Livesaver (whos the French rapper on this????) off Jazzmatazz 2 is ridiculous and the choice of sample on Who's There is genius

ive been on there for two years, long before i liked house

all 7 dates are sold out?

got a mate with 2 tickets might have to snaffle the spare one if thats the case.

think im in Londinium on sept 8th actually for UFC 75 at the O2 whats the venue like Si u been?

dont think its even open yet??

its what was the millenium dome

Gutted for you mate. Probably a once in a lifetime opportunity (yeah, like thats gonna make you feel better)

Yes and i still find it funny.

For me a producer to be in my top 5 list needs to of made more than one of my favorite dance tunes.

i think so...apperently Bon Jovi played there the other day

ffs would have been well up for going to see Bon Jovi

Aaron Funk (Venetian Snares)
Trent Reznor
Robert Fripp
Aphex Twin
Frank Zappa
