Bob Rock, the worst producer in Rock history?

Rock history
Rckets asked:


I say yes, no matter that he thinks the music was named after him. He destroyed The Cult (twice). He turned Veruca Salt into a bad episode of Melrose Place. He managed to make Metallica seem ordinary. Then he takes a decent young band like Lostprophets and turns them into an afterthought. Good luck Offspring and Motley Crue, I know your new albums will be bad too. This man is a menace to society.
I almost forgot about Our Lady Peace. They were decent back in the 90’s and then they got Rocked. Now they might as well be the Canadian Goo Goo Dolls.

Is it true that the Mississippi Delta is considered the “new frontier” in travel?
