Pretty straight forward Poll.
 
What is you favourite record label?
 
For me there are some which have a certain 'Quality' which sets them apart. This may come from the quality of the production, the packaging or just the artists which are signed to them.

I went for EMI, because there is just seems to be me to excellent production on their releases and I guess the thought of recording at Abbey Road is just so appealing.

Probably Garden Of Delights with that marijuana leaf as their symbol.
Musea needs to be mentioned and Cuneiform

Warp and 4AD are my all time faves, although very few bands from this site are on those.

Voted for Atlantic since they had three of my favourite bands - Yes, ELP and Led Zeppelin - though it could just as easily have been Charisma.

I'm surprised you didn't include Vertigo as one of the options as they are probably the ultimate 'prog' label from the early 70s - Uriah Heep, Manfred Mann, Colosseum, Jade Warrior, Beggars Opera and a shedload of others.

Yes that is a good point about Vertigo, I wanted to add it but I couldn't work out how to.....

Racket Records - because it's owned by the band, they don't get ripped off.

Voted 'Other' because I really do not care what the label is.  It's the artists and the music that concern me.

Looking at my collection: wow, a lot of Earache references, some stuff from Relapse, also things from Roadrunner or Noise (me, a metalhead?), a growing set of Futura/Marge records, ReR, Cuneiform, Gazul...

Okay, let's say: "Others", for I could hardly make my own mind about my "allegiances".
