I'd toss in Danzig I, II and III on the pile of accomplishments as a producer. His episode on Joe Rogan was a fun listen.

The man has produced many of my favorite records. I don’t know if he is a genius but his contribution to music is much appreciated.

Yep he unleashed the Cult on an unsuspecting world in the late 80's

During the heyday of hair metal he was putting out rock with malicious intent with The Cult and the Beastie Boys

He didnt produce this record... I dont think he had anything to do with it...


That one surprised me but apparently he had a hand in it early...

quote:

One footnote to the record often under-reported was that Rick Rubin was also involved. Recording of Car Wheels on a Gravel Road first came about when Lucinda signed to Rubin’s American Recordings label, and he apparently offered executive guidance throughout the process. But the record was eventually released through Mercury, not Rubin’s American. Lucinda’s temperament, and her insistence on getting everything absolutely perfect is cited as the reason that an album that sounds like it was recorded in a week took the better part of three years to finalize.
