Agreed. Actually I don't know many good Polydor bands but EMI still have real good stuff, even if I'm not really into their marketing strategies and all

it will take too long to write a list of all the labels whose i have been able to rely upon over the years, but the one label that over that has most consistently supplied me with awesomeness is siltbreeze

oh yeah, i forgot motown and stax. i guess i got caught up in all my whiteness.

I don't really pay attention to these kind of things, but I suppose labels like Amphetamine Reptile, Touch 'n' Go, Ektro, Fonal, Siltbreeze, Flying Nun, Bad Vugum, Trash Can, Southern Lord etc... have provided me good shit to listen to.

Specifically leaving off Kill Rock Stars, K, Sub Pop, and SST due to drop in quality over time. Everything I listed, I honestly like most of the catalog that I've heard.

Matador, Warp, Touch and Go, Kill Rock Stars, Drag City, 4AD,

Impossible to list them all. A random list of them:

Darla
Clearspot
Wurlitzer Jukebox/Earworm
Ecstatic Peace
Warp
4AD
Trojan
Soul Jazz
Mego
Rough Trade
Touch and Go/Quarterstick
Definitive Jux
Thrill Jokey
Def Jam
Drag City
Creation (the golden age)

Oh, and of course Planet Mu and Rephlex records.

It is really hard for me to pay attention to labels. For some reason I just kind of ignore them although I do listen to a bit from Touch and Go, Matador, SST and what have you. I don't know. Maybe I put more stock into "how you sound" over "who you know"? That sounds condescending and I don't mean to be.

smalltown superjazzz
ecstatic peace
atavistic
syr
impulse!

Oh yeah, SST as well.

Well, some of us said that it is impossible to list them all. Excellent call for Impulse! Moshe. That record label is gold.

Scam

Skam records?

I think you mean Skam, pumpkin.

Inoxia
Skin Graft
Southern Lord
Deathbomb Arc
Blue Note
etc.

Oh yes, of course! haha

Bloody Fist Records? I am not sure, though, did they put out only Breakcore (ew!) stuff?
