So what makes him a terrible producer then?
I don't know...bit bland maybe? He did an album with Bryan Ferry that was shite anarl. No edge to him. Being in a band with that boring scottish crone for years would drive you mad like i suppose
You don't know? do you know what the artist wanted their album to sound like, do you know if Stewart delivered the sound they asked for? or failed? just because you don't like it, doesn't mean he's a bad producer, I could think of nothing more bland than Bryan Ferry, what would you expect the producer to do with the material at hand?
Well yes! there is that I suppose and If I was producing Bryan Ferry, that's what I would do..
The Stevie Nicks tack '24 Karat Gold' that's linked in the OP sounds very well produced to me and I'm only listening on laptop speakers, I rate Stewart as a producer his work with the Eurythmics was class, I just think the OP doesn't like him period and so that makes him a bad producer.
No he doesn't.
If you think that's bad then you haven't heard Peter Gabriel 's cover of Heroes.
He was a canny lad at school, always a bit flash - you'd always see him with a guitar over his shoulder or an album tucked under his arm. He could come across as arrogant, but that was probably down to the fact he was talented and was very focused on what he was going to do - he certainly wasn't going down the pit or into the shipyards like the majority of kids at that time had ambitions for!! Just wished he'd fancied me sister, then I might have got some free guitar lessons!
TLR reckoned everyone was a twat that wasn't in his age group..
