Answer 2

My two favourite are probably Roadrunner records for bands like Opeth, Dream Theater and Porcupine Tree, which are incidentally my three favourite modern bands. The other label I like is Nuclear Blast for bands like Meshuggah, Threshold and In Flames.

Answer 3

I honestly don't know much about record labels, but I do like Elektra.

Some Elektra artists:

The Doors

The Stooges

Atomic Rooster

MC5

Pixies

Queen

Wire & String - Almost everyone hates big coporations, but would you change your opinion on the labels you listed is business started booming, or if your favourite bands got signed to it? Loving music is better than hating corporations.

Answer 4

Well I don't know much about record labels other than a couple that my all-time fave band was signed to and those were:

Apple records The Beatles it was their main record label

EMI records which later became Capital records. This was The Beatles record label in 1968 and their solo years.

Hope I helped!

Answer 11

Probably Roadrunner.

Artists that I like that are on that label include Airbourne, Black Stone Cherry, Megadeth, Machine Head, Opeth and Trivium.  

Answer 12

Swan Song Records :-)

launched by English rock group Led Zeppelin on May 10, 1974. It was managed by Led Zeppelin's manager Peter Grant and was a vehicle for the band to promote its own products as well as sign artists who found it difficult to win contracts with other major labels. The decision to launch the label came after Led Zeppelin's five year contract with Atlantic Records expired at the end of 1973. Atlantic Records ultimately distributed the label's product.  Swan Song Records also signed Bad Company. :-)

Answer 13

I really like Solid State.

My favorite bands:

Mychildren Mybride

The Chariot

Twelve Gauge Valentine

Norma Jean

Haste the Day

August Burns Red

Pretty much every band signed to that label...

Answer 14

Roadrunner Records

Answer 15

Answer 16

daptone records

sharon jones

antibalas

the budos band

sorry to a couple people, but i have to thumb down anyone who says a major label, or one owned by a major label, and even though roadrunner has some cool bands, they are owned by warner brothers. elektra is owned by warner. arista is owned by sony bmg. capitol is owned by emi. def jam is owned by universal. geffen is owned by universal. its cool if you want to thumb me down back, but i am a man of my principles. know that this is not about the music, but my hatred of things like the RIAA, oligopolies in media, clear channel, payola and price fixing.

I dig a lot of acts on Kill Rock Stars as well.

For the sake of philosophy, I really enjoy that Dischord was founded on the fact that the record companies were overcharging people so they made a lable where they would charge a fair price for their material.

Answer 24

Roadrunner. Warner Bros. is decent as well.
