I actually dont mind BOB too much but if they were going to switch it up id like it to be Wallace or maybe Lillywhite
Based on BoB having done some amazing albums several years ago, I wouldn't trust anyone who I'm not convinced is producing amazing albums right now.

And King for a day by FNM, the guitars are just outstanding. (or is it another Wallace?)

They should invite for the next album someone from that trio - Terry Date/Toby Wright/Steve Albini

A friend of mine (casual PJ fan) said that he thinks Flood would be a good choice. The name sounds familiar but I don't remember what he's produced.

Apparently Flood has also worked with NIN and Sigur Ros. So yeah, he's my choice.

Good thread. I do have alot of appreciation for BoB, but his douchiness rubs me the wrong way as it does alot of you. I think something he does do really well is handle Ed's vocals. He seems to push him to places he would not ever broach on Binaural/Riot Act/Avocado, so another producer has to understand the band and the fact that their ultimate strength is Ed.

What about Daniel Lanois? He could bring out the weirder parts of PJ but maybe still focus on Ed's vocals, I think he did that on U2 records, although I don't know who did what between him and Eno.

I say no for Brian Eno, PJ aren't that sort of band to me to psuedo-explore avant-garde.

I'm also thinking Glyn (or is it Ethan? forget who's father son) Johns? Both could be good. One of them did Kings of Leon's second record I think which I loved, and the older one is a classic.

What about Danger Mouse? That could be too trendy but he's a guy who seems to understand rock w/ Black Keys and now U2, but also could really add a modern touch without seeming to pander.

How about contemporaries like Josh Homme or Julian Casablancas? (I remember reading somewhere he wanted to do PJ, I don't remember him ever producing but I think he's a studio guy more than a stage guy and he's a fan).

I also have this pipe dream about Beck doing an Eddie solo album.....

It is... and contains all the subtlety, texture and BIG TUNES that could do PJ some good.

Imagine a Pearl Jam ballad that sounds like Góðan Daginn or a song like Unthought Known sounding like Við Spilum Endalaust. :luv:

pearl jam is a straight up rock band. Would an atmospheric producer be able to work well with their sound?

They've been able to do very good atmospheric work before. They are a straight up rock band, but that need not be all they are.

They're a straight-up rock band when they're being a straight-up rock band. They've been other things too. They're not AC/DC or anything.

Or just an inventive rockband, as opposed to a straight-up one.

Peter Katis - The National, Goen Hansard
He'd do a great job especially if Pj were to get a little more experimental with their sounds

Eno
Obviously

Marius deVries - Rufus Wainwright and a few other bigger acts
Beautiful big lush productions
Calibrate your enthusiasm
