But to be fair you have to point out that Bob Ezrin produced Pink Floyd and Kiss, and George Martin Produced the Beatles

So, in my eyes that means Mutt Lange - who produced everybody you almost remember 10 years later and Roy Thomas Baker who's biggest act was probably Foreigner are the better hit makers.

So sorry Polack MSgt, but that was not phrased as a question

Two words: The Beatles.

A wonderfully inventive producer who was an arguable candidate for the 5th Beatle. Remarkably approachable, charming, and talented. Just like the group he worked with.

Hands down: George Martin!
