Yup, a Father, Son and Brother/Uncle that have produced some of the most timeless, classic albums of all time.

ICBM

Youth (Martin Glover)

He did Crowded House's 'Together Alone', which in my opinion is the best-sounding album ever recorded.

That bloke that did Pixies and Bunnymen

Gil Norton? I'm not sure how much Bunnymen stuff he did though. They had loads of different people mucking in on their first four (i.e. good) albums

Grunfeld

@dogload -- The Bunnymen were one of my favourite bands but I stopped listening to them after they just started dialling it in.  Which is why I didn't even bother playing their eleventh(!) album The Fountain after I got it back in 2009 (so Wiki says cos I don't remember).
Earlier this year I spotted it sitting there and thought I'd give it a listen on a long drive to Manchester.
It's a gem. 
So I tried the other later albums and they're as duff as f*ck but that one has got something of the old magic about it.  You might have heard it and think it's no good but just in case you've not, it's worth a listen.

Cheers - I'll check it out.

I remember looking forward to Evergreen when it came out in 1997 but so disappointed... they still can knock it out live doing all the hits mind.

I actually liked the one they did after Mac left (Reverberation). Will Sergeant getting to indulge some of his psychedelicisms!

Good to see a bit of love for Leckie. We actually did an interview with him too if anyone is interested... https://reverb.com/uk/news/john-leckie-on-recording-with-the-stone-roses-and-radiohead

Cool. I remember hearing a really good interview with him talking about recording The Dukes Of Stratosphere which was jolly interesting too.

koneguitarist

Old school rock, Derek Lawrence.
also Glyn Johns, how anyone can take four guys from states as far apart as Texas, Michigan Nebraska and Arizona, get them together in a London studio and create perfect California country Rock deserves a medal.. The Eagles debut album. 
For new Teddy Thompson. The epitome of what a producer should be. 

uncledick

William Orbit.  Pushed the boundaries back when others were just doing the same old stuff.

Chris Tsangarides was very good for rock and got excellent guitar sounds/recordings (Gary Moore etc).

Sadly, he passed away last weekend
