Your favorite indie record label?

[CFH]

This is probably (certainly) a stupid question that almost no one will respond to, but what is you favorite indie label and why?

Personally, I'd have to choose SubPop records out of Seattle. Instrumental in the alternative scene of the late 80's and early 90's, the label is still putting out consistent music and introducing you to bands you would not have otherwise heard of. Best know for bringing the world bands like Nirvana, Mudhoney, and Soundgarden, the label is going strong to this day. Aside from the seminal aformentioned groups, some excellent artists/groups are currently signed or were signed to the label - Band of Horses, Blitzen Trapper, and Mark Lanegan (until 2001) are my personal favorites - and the SubPop roster also includes bands like The Shins, The Postal Service, Flight of the Conchordes, Sunny Day Real Estate etc.
