Best production
The sound, the room and the ideas behind the faders. The album where each artist’s sound was most carefully made – and who was at the desk.
- 1 Sly & the Family Stone There’s a Riot Goin’ On Sly Stone overdubbed the tapes again and again and used a drum machine – the sound is murky on purpose. Listen to “Family Affair” Timeless classic
- 2 Amy Winehouse Back to Black Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi with the Dap-Kings: a sixties sound that still felt brand new in 2006. Listen to “Rehab” Modern classic
