Butch Vig discography

The discography of Butch Vig, an American musician and record producer, consists of a mix of albums, extended plays and singles released by bands he was a performer in and records on which he produced, mixed, remixed, engineered or a combination of those roles.

After graduating from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in film studies, Vig became a core member of cult Mid-West band Spooner, and an off-shoot group Fire Town, as well as co-founding recording studio Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin in the Eighties.[1] Vig is now best known internationally as the drummer of the Madison-based alternative rock band Garbage and the producer of multi-platinum selling albums Nevermind by Nirvana and Siamese Dream by Smashing Pumpkins.[2]

Vig's most recent production, Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and atop the album charts of 23 further countries.[3]
