I'm gonna add Tom Wilson. He doesn't get mentioned much in these kinds of threads but I always loved the way albums he produced sounded. On the flip side of that I'll also add Bob Johnston. I like what both those dudes did with Dylan in comparison to counterparts Phil Spector & George Martin.

I tried to find somebody of that sort that I could like that nobody else did - because everybody would adopt his group, and his group would be _it_; someone weird like Captain Beefheart. It's no different now - people trying to outdo ! each other in extremes. There are people who like X, and there are people who say X are wimps; they like Black Flag.

No denying that she would NOT have been a star without him.

And I do have another to add to the list:

Tony Visconti.

Albini is a producer insofar as he makes decisions on how things are mic'ed and where things are in a mix. That does vary from band to band, however, so in some cases he is just an engineer.

George Martin
Brian Eno
Steve Albini
Brian Paulsen

He also did "Oops I did it again" I think.

I will choose to forgive current sins for past success.

Yeah that's true. Who the hell else would've had a young Def Leppard in the studio to record Pyromania and said "you know what's missing? Thomas Dolby playing keyboards."
