Flea was trying to figure out what worked best for the chorus of Give It Away. Rick Rubin steps in, makes a quick suggestion and it instantly turns into the part we know.
From 4:23
Oddly enough generally when a band picks a certain producer it's because they want to change direction and evolve, U2 picked Eno for that very reason, Madonna picked Stuart Price for COADF.
Other artist pick producers that will add something but stay on the straight and narrow .. Waters picking Ezrin for example for The Wall.
Trevor Horn.
Bob Rock. Bruce Fairbairn- defined the sound of late 80s/ early 90s hard rock between them.
Dave Jerdan, responsible for the first Jane's Addiction, and more importantly first couple of Alice in Chains.
He got a bit disillusioned after spending a long time working on an album for a band called Violets Demise, which was finished but not released by the record company, a couple of tracks exist online, and it is an interesting example of a band that could have been massive, Oni Logan and Rowan Robertson, and a weird mix of AIC / Cult psychedelia.
Andy Wallace, for his early production of Walk this Way, and a few things like White Zombie and Jeff Buckley, before seeming to give up on production and concentrate on mixing, almost everything put out since the 90's, seriously.
Nevermind and a go on Chinese Democracy are definite highlights.
Magic ears there.
Robert John Lange - Great work on Hysteria by Def Leppard
Robert Rich - Ambient/new age producer
Bob Rock - A divisive figure, but he did a great job on the Black Album. Also The Cult's Sonic Temple.
Chris Kimsey - Night time by Killing Joke. Always loved the atmosphere on that record.
Eddie Kramer - Hendrix, Zeppelin....
I hated the production of Soundgarden's Superunknown when I bought it. Could have sounded 200% better to me.
Also Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys & the man that made me buy a Tom Jones record Ethan Johns.
Gotta say I'm completely the other way with Hannett, I think he was a talentless chancer who ruined some records that could have been great. Listen to any Joy Division bootleg and it's obvious they were a massively powerful live band. The album just sounds really gutless. I guess he gave it an atmosphere but it could have been so much better.

Some seriously good albums in there.
