How can you guys forget Roger Nichols that engineered Donald Fagen's "The Nightfly"...

I think Bob Ludwig, in my original list, did the mastering on Nightfly...I just couldn't list everyone, I guess.

George Martin is a good suggestion....did much of the Beatles stuff - a little too heavily panned (stuff seems to come out one speaker or the other) for my tastes but great stuff nevertheless - Sergeant Pepper is an all time classic - groundbreaking in almost every way.
Just try and imagine your favorite person (or persons) from this list, standing next to your "equipment."

Sounds much better, right?

Natalie Portman
Milla Jovovich
Gwyneth Paltrow
Cameron Diaz
Charlize Theron
Salma Hayek
Ashley Judd
Faith Hill
Sandra Bullock
Nichole Kidman
I'd like to meet Albert Porter ;)

Hey Albert: Didn't Milla Jovovich first say "Big Bad Boom" in Fifth Element? I'm not so sure I'd want those comments in my listening room.
