Sorry. Had to post a list of Mutt Lang stuff to clarify my dislike for his style:
I don't get it.
Highway to Hell was a great album but not because of the production. I would almost say despite the production. Just about everything else blows hard with the exception of High and Dry and we all know what he did to Def Leppard.
I'll go with Terry Brown and Eddie Offord.
I think they did what a producer ought to do.
