Record Labels (Good and Bad)

Storm Rider:
Now, normally I'm not big on the whole label concept: a band should be judged by its material, not by whether it's on a major label or not. But go ahead and list some of your favorite and least favorite labels, just for some interesting opinions.

Mine:

The Good: InsideOut Music. Seriously, there is not a better prog label anywhere. Star One, Asia, Ayreon, Chroma Key, Devin Townsend, Fates Warning, Neal Morse, OSI, Platypus, Spock's Beard, Symphony X, Flower Kings, Jelly Jam, Transatlantic... the list goes on and on and on.

The Bad:
Victory Records. Seriously, I challenge you to name a good band on that label.

I don't find it necessary to point out how much terrible mallcore Roadrunner is pushing on us now.

surgerydrugsnrocknroll:
between the buried and me and dead to fall are decent...
the other bands suck though

i personally like razorback records
you cannot mess with ghoul and engorged, and other horror/gore metal bands

as for crappy record labels...
i cant think of any offhand.

rive gauche:
I don't really pay very much attention to Record Labels.

Level Plane has some pretty consistently wicked acts.

Yep.

Der Golem:
I agree with Spinless. Even Roadrunner has a decent band, Glassjaw. But I don't really pay attention to labesl either. The only one I particularly like is Ipecac. Mike Patton and Mugison, two of my favorate artists ever.

And as for Storm Riders challenga; They have Minus and Darkest Hour, both of which are decent. Well, Minus was decent anyways.

kikanjuuneko:
Actually, Glassjaw haven't been on Roadrunner since the release of "Worship and Tribute".
