Off the list Virgin.  For putting Mike Oldfield out then using the money to put out such commercial music as Faust, TD and Gong.  THank you!

I was never one to follow a "label", really, but in the early 70s I did like the Warner label and its offshoots: Straight, Reprise (which handled US and Canadian distribution of British bands) and Bizarre Records. Zappa, Alice Cooper, Captain Beefheart, T-Rex, Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath -- that's what I was listening to back then.
 
Swan Song (Zeppelin's own label) had the best symbol though (Icarus descending).

I'll go with Harvest, yet how about a list of new labels?: Profound Lore, InsideOut, etc.

first Charisma record i ever heard or bought was an obscurity-a solo album by ex Blue Cheer guitarist Leigh Stephens called "And A Cast Of Thousands"

hmm I think Cuneiform and ReR records definitely deserve to be here.

My favorite is the Alphabet Business Concern :)

My favorite label for classical music.
ah, classical music labels-one of my faves is Sony Music-also like EMI Classics
  I'm very into historical classical recordings-Symposium, Music and Arts, Naxos Historical, BBC Legends, Preiser Records, Dutton, Somm Records are good for historical classical records

Atlantic just about ruled the seventies.
But since then, a number of indy labels have lead the prog cause.
I'd have to say Cuneiform for being the most daring and consistent.
But there are plenty of close seconds.
