Tarkus, ELP debut 

Trilogy = CttE

A record producer is a) someone who suggests the addition of wonky instruments, vocals and arrangements or b) someone who discourages the addition of wonky instruments, vocals and arrangements. And c) someone who suggusts the addition of brilliant instruments, vocals and arrangements. Quite a choice.

How do you know when an album is 'amazingly engineered', I am honestly asking because I do not know. I know how you could call an album 'well-produced' or even 'amazingly produced', and I presume it is similar to being engineered... Whatever it is, just don't weld it, won't look good. Tongue


The engineer is the one who mixes and matches, equalizes, adds some effects, manages the soundboard...the producer is the one who comes afterwards and f**ks the record up!
LOL True enough, but when they are one and the same, it's harder to point the finger.
For my part I see the producer as more of a 'director', deciding on style and perhaps instrumentation of the song as well as coaching the musicians on performance ("give it more wangy tangy and a little slide just there"). The engineer is the executioner of the required activities in order to achieve the vision of the producer (and band)
It's what you end up hearing !

Yessongs didn't have a vote yet but if I were told that I'm only allowed to own one of these, it'd be Yessongs for sure.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Picked 'Relayer' because it doesn't get as many votes and is a killer album. Also for 'Close to the Edge' and 'Drama' - simply classics. Could have easily voted for any of these, to be honest.
But man, how much I hate the multiple vote option... Always abused, and this is why I never allow it on my polls.

I thought that problem would be solved by the triple vote, but it seems that many people voted for CTTE and nothing more. Strange...

For production/clarity of sound I would go for Trilogy, for best album Close To The Edge.

Good point: I think the production quality must come first in this poll (if one can distinguish it from the musicians performance).

Tarkus (1971), narrowly over Close to the Edge (1972).

My favourite one is TFTO but clearly the highest rated one is CTTE.
