Go to a Rolling Stones concert and ask anyone if they can name one producer of any RS album at any point in the history of the band and less than 1 in 1000 could answer that question.

To be honest, Stevie and Linds could be sitting in an empty room with a childs karaoke machine singing "old mcdonald" and i would listen to it.

Richard faded into oblivion in 1978. Most people just don't care...and besides Ken has put the spotlight on himself and self promoted himself taking much of the credit for Rumours. I assume he did this to look good in the production circles. Again, the fans really don't care who Ken is or who Richard is.

This board is a collection of pretty diehard fans. There are less than 500 people on this board regularly ( and i am being generous with that number). This is not a good sample of reality in regards to how people feel about who is producing the music. FM had sold a million tickets on this tour. Most of those ticket holders have no idea who Richard is. Really, he has faded into oblivion, no one cares about the producers.

Wrong.

I can tell you who the producer of the Stones was. It was Glyn Johns who is famous in his own right along with a whole list of other people famous for being producers.
Any music fan who doesn't care about the work of producing the music has no right to call themselves a real fan. I mean Jesus, where would we be without Jimmy Iovine?
Nope. Your dislike of Richard smacks of something almost on a personal level. And since I don't really care to know any more I'm just going to leave it at that.
