I voted Sardy because I thought that was the album where the production made the most difference.

The other albums have been produced to various levels of success but I don't think they were ever as integral to the sound and feel of the album and it's flow as Sardy's production on DOYS

I'm gonna go with Dave Sardy, although I find his mixes a bit narrow and thin sometimes, they definitely have the most raw energy and power to them, plus the most 'oldskool' and classic sounding. Did read something a while ago about him forcing drummers to play a lot harder and heavier than they normally would, which really comes through on recordings like Lyla and Shock Of The Lightning.

Really like Lillywhite's production on the Beady Eye album too tho, definitely a lot more cleaner, richer and softer than Sardys production style, but it does work well for them.

Don't really know exactly what Mark Stent brought to the table on SOTSOG, from hearing Noel's demos, about 90% of the 'production' had already been done, all Stent did was polish them off.

Noel always seems to discredit Owen Morris as a 'producer', and refers to him as more of an engineer or mixer for those periods. Can't deny that whatever he (or they) did when recording them classic songs really cemented that classic sound that'll be admired for many many years to come.

A lot of people think Owen Morris' contributions as a producer was just "turn it up really loud!!!!!!!!!!!!!" but I think there was more to it than that. With those first three records, he made those songs sound like there was more there sonically and instrumentally than there really was. With the bare-bones simplistic style of the early Oasis songs, that kind of attribute is ESSENTIAL.

You could always find more buried instruments to listen to with a Morris recording, while with the other producers it was more "what you see is what you get." I like having more to listen to, so I'm going with Morris.

Mark Stent. Hands down. Thread over.

I hate shit head comments like this. Sorry thread isn't over.

Anyway, I believe Sardy is the best producer Oasis has had. Listen to DOYS and you'll know what I mean. And if I hear another person say loudness war I will hunt you down!

Sardy did a great job with both DBTT and DOYS, but the loudness really hurted the CD version of DBTT, it's a lame to listen to it, but on the vinyl it sounds great and you can hear Sardy work better.

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5
