\"\"<\/p>\n

An exceedingly nerdy question to ask, yes, but a worthwhile one, nonetheless, I think. Let’s consider some nominations, shall we?<\/p>\n

CHRIS THOMAS<\/b>
\nBeginnings:<\/b> Famously served as George Martin’s understudy during the White Album sessions.
\nSome Highlights:<\/b> John Cale’s Paris 1919<\/i>; Roxy Music’s second, third, and fifth albums; Mixed Dark Side of the Moon<\/i>; Never Mind the Bollocks<\/i>; First three Pretenders albums; INXS’ commercial juggernaut Kick<\/i>; Pulp’s Different Class<\/i> and This Is Hardcore<\/i>.
\nWHAAA?<\/b> Many interchangeable Elton John albums of the ’80s and ’90s.<\/p>\n

JOHN LECKIE<\/b>
\nBeginnings:<\/b> Helped engineer Plastic Ono Band<\/i> and All Things Must Pass<\/i>. John Lennon nicknamed him “Licky,” supposedly.
\nSome Highlights:<\/b> Be-Bop Deluxe (That’s for you, Mr. Mod.) Early XTC and Dukes of Stratosphere; Three Fall albums, which is more than most members of The Fall can manage (I’m kidding, Berlyant!); First Stone Roses album; Radiohead’s The Bends<\/i>.
\nWHAA?<\/b> Los Lobos’ Good Morning Aztlan<\/i><\/p>\n

STEVE LILLYWHITE<\/b>
\nBeginnings:<\/b> Engineer somewhere. Does not appear to have learned at the feet of anyone Beatle-related.
\nSome Highlights:<\/b> Peter Gabriel’s third album; XTC’s Drums and Wires<\/i> and Black Sea<\/i>; many U2 albums; Kirsty MacColl; The Pogues; the last Talking Heads album.
\nWHAA?<\/b> Blamed for the big drum sound of the ’80s, but what’s really strange is his alliance with latter-day hippie jam types, particularly Dave Matthews Band.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
