Fat Wreck Chords
Vagrant Records
AF Records
Sub Pop
Barsuk Records

Mute would also be one of my favorites, but i didn't wanna list ones that you already had.

is this an INFP thing?

scantilyclad · 07-09-2008, 05:55 AM

perhaps?

From grabbing and looking at a stack of nearby CDs...

I'm pretty sure they are both either major lables or affiliated with them, but most of my music is from Napalm or Nuclear Blast.

I'm not certain if the following are major labels or not, but since you listed the one of these that I have the most CDs from, they probably all are.

Curzweyhl / Rough Trade (some CDs have both names on them)
That label accounts for the majority of my overseas non major label imports.

Projekt
Kalinkaland
Noir Records / Dancing Ferret Discs
Trisol

Island
Sub Pop
Fat Possum
Philadelphia International
Stax/Volt (I'll concede that their independent status is tenuous)

Bomp!
Merge
Motown (now part of Universal)
Secretly Canadian

Sorry to post in this thread again without contributing anything but snark, but I'm more interested in the idea of this thread subject than in actually responding to the question.
To me it is like asking for "your top 5 people in terms of their musical taste." in that it's a uniquely uninformative way of showing how discriminating you are.

But unlike the thread question, I can actually answer that one without doing research, so...

Stuart
Mike
Ben
Sarah
Kurt
