Ouch. Phil farking Collins? It's interesting to see that Paul's Boutique only got a so-so production score. I thought the Dust Brothers were the bees' knees in production (sampling) techniques. Also notable is that U2's Zooropa made...

Vanilla Fudge - Ticket To Ride I mentioned this waaay back and I think it's still true.
