DonS 3,063 Posted June 24, 2021 I'd probably go with Porcupine Tree / Steven Wilson. Good sized discography so there is plenty to listen to. Nice variety as well. Choosing Steven Wilson also keeps the door open in case the OP makes a ruling that work as a producer also qualifies. Aside from working in the studio with bands such as Opeth, he's also remixed scores of classic albums by bands such as Yes, King Crimson, and Jethro Tull. https://www.soundonsound.com/people/steven-wilson-remixing-classic-albums Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he's ONLY a producer then that doesn't pass the "band/singer" criteria. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was in the Minutemen and Shellac. He’s best known for producing a ton of indie rock bands from the 90s onward: Pixies, Breeders, Nirvana, Fugazi, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
