@dnanian You never really appreciate drummers until they're gone. I'm reminded of when Spinal Tap lost Nigel Tufnel and they got around to humoring bassist Derek Smalls and indulging in his 3-piece jazz experiments at the county fair. Such a funny scene.
But I'm also a sucker for Nigel Godrich. His production on Terror Twilight made for my favorite Pavement record. OK Computer is my favorite Radiohead, etc.
Probably got the most introspective work out of McCartney in decades in 2005
Chaos and Creation in the Backyard
@Chancerubbage @dnanian Chaos and Creation in the Backyard! Macca's big divorce album. This one was a very interesting album. Of note that Macca never deigned to work with Godrich again. Rumor was he wanted to be challenged & Godrich lived up to the assignment. There were some really moody tracks on there. "How Kind of You", "Jenny Wren", etc. I would like to know the songs that Godrich rejected. Great album.

@pabloniusmonk @Chancerubbage McCartney - especially in his late period - is a truly interesting combination of lazy and workaholic. Getting someone to challenge him is always a good idea.
@dnanian @Chancerubbage I think you're spot-on there, Dave. I forgot that George Martin suggested Godrich!
