What, like Michael Jackson's last album? ::)
But if we're pimping the local boys, I gotta give my vote to The m-f'n NEPTUNES (Va Beach represent!)
I'm also a big fan of Ric Ocasek as a producer.

Jerkins screwed up....ONCE. Like I said,he's a local,so I cheer him on. Not many famous folks to cheer for in the Atlantic City area except for casino magnates like TRUMP!No one else from my area is that famous!

Quincy Jones

Babyface is the man. He has worked with artists like Toni Braxton and Tevin Campbell. R. Kelly is a good producer too(despite his problems of late in the media.)
Teddy Riley was good too: He produced some of Bobby Browns stuff. Worked with R&B Group's Guy and Blackstreet. Also produced some of SWV's first album I believe.

I have to add BOB EZRIN to my list! He worked with KISS on their "Destroyer"album and also worked with the almighty ALICE COOPER!!
Subject: Re: best record producers-then and now?
Certainly Bob Ezrin. I would also add: "Mutt" Lange, the late Richard Fairbairn, Martin Birch (already mentioned), Rick Rubin (already mentioned), Kevin 'Caveman' Shirley, Mark Opitz, Jimmy Page and Phil Spector.
