 been surprised that no one's mentioned Jeff Lynne, one of the most
 wretched of the wretched.  No matter what the lineup of the band or their
 style, after going through his meat grinder they all sound the same, with
 the limp but loud drums and those horrendous drive-by backing vocals with
 all the life compressed out of them.  Jeez.  And otherwise relatively 
 sane people hire him, just like Spector.

I must chime in and agree here about Jeff Lynne - particularly with the
godawful synth bath production jobs he did to Dave Edmunds back in the early
80's.
