I don't mean to nit-pick your poll options but Timbaland or Dr. Dre should be replaced by Rick Rubin. While Dre and T have both produced their respective good records, Rick Rubin was behind the scenes of: Run DMC, Public Enemy, Beastie Boys, LL Cool J, Slayer, Danzig, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash etc... There's no telling how many albums he ''executively produced'' as well.

Yeah, I agree that Rubin should be on there, but in terms of impact on pop music I think someone like Dre is at least comparable. His production on The Chronic pretty much defined whole swathes of Rap/RnB music in the 90s. Not forgetting his production on Straight Outta Compton which had a massive influence on the whole gangsta Rap thing.

It's definitely arguable, but while I did vote for Spector overall, I'd say Dre was maybe the most influential of the last twenty years. But yeah, it's a very good shout for Rubin.

the fact that Dr. Dre is on a "pop's greatest" list makes me want to cry. cry and then projectile vomit all over my screen.

As much as I respect you, Herr G (indeed, every morning, I prepare myself for the day by listening to your "The Heidegger of Crunk" spoken word CD), but Herr Albino deserves to have his bottom spanked for that Stooges CD he engineered. Hello, Bass????

I understand your rage. It was a joke based on the fact that I don't really like Albini. I mean, have you heard that Melt Banana album? Imagine if the Stooges album had decent songs that Albini raped with terror. That bad. As it was, Albini's favour to that Stooges album was to mask its pishness in bad production, thus saving the legend.
