I've already nominated Sub Pop and Ipecac Records. I'd also like to submit Factory Records, of course! Joy Division, Happy Mondays, New Order.... -

@internetbt Yup another good call. Already have Factory in there with a nice clip of Joy Division playing live ;-). Just added Ipecac btw
@Lazerdemon Nice one! I had SST in there but not Dischord (any excuse to put a Descendents video in there). Will add it now.
Keep 'em coming guys!

How about Domino Records? Only started in 93, but helped to bring a lot of American indie rock over to the UK. They have a lot of my favorite artists.
