Poll question: Best Eno Produced non-exclusively Eno Album
I know that Eno didn't receive Producer Credit for anything in the Berlin Trilogy, but from what I've read, he deserves it more than Visconti. So I included 'Heroes'.

5. When I got up this morning, I just felt like dissing Tony Visconti.
Actually, it's more like giving Eno his props, than it is dissing Visconti.

3. Remain in Light
Still in my top five albums of all time...for the time (1980), this album truly pushed rock music forward HARD!!!

10. No votes for Wah Wah?
I feel that Eno's best work were Wah Wah and Zooropa. Two albums that were really never meant to be, that just sort of happened by accident.

BRIAN ENO'S WAH WAH NOTES

"The music was always on the edge of breakdown, held together by taut threads, semi-formed, evolving, full of beautiful, unrepeatable collisions and exotic collusions. I suggested that, instead of just working on one record (the 'song' record, for which we'd already agreed a very tight schedule) we find two studios next to each other and develop two albums concurrently - one of structured songs, and the other of these improvisations. It seemed pretty ambitious at the time, but we decided to aim for it. Generally, we improvised late at night and in very dim light. We worked on huge reels of tape, so that we could play for over an hour without reel changes.

Strange new worlds took shape out of bewildering deserts of confusion, consolidated, lived gloriously for a few minutes and then crumbled away. We never tried making anything twice: once it had gone, we went somewhere else."

11. Gotta go with Remain in Light
even though several of my favorite albums are listed. And I had NO idea that Devo's first album was produced by Eno, omg! No wonder it's their best one!

12. DEVO!
Edited on Mon Jul-26-04 01:39 PM by 56kid
with Remain in Light and Fear of Music in a dead heat, but at the finish line Are We Not Men comes out on top.
But maybe it has nothing to do with Eno.
That Devo album was absolutely ground breaking when it came out. I don't think there's anything else quite like it to this day.
