Many claim Sub Pop was the last great US indie label
Over the weekend, Sub Pop celebrated their 20th birthday. To celebrate this celebration, Louis Pattison wrote a piece documenting Sub Pop's history. And now, to celebrate the celebration of the celebration, we're asking you what you think was the best album Sub Pop ever released.
As Louis points out in a Q&A with founder Jonathan Poneman, Nirvana's Bleach remains their top seller. But was it the best thing the legendary indie label put out? Can it really compete with records by Green River, L7 or Mudhoney? What about the new breed of punk squawkers like No Age, Pissed Jeans and, um, Flight of the Conchords?
Oh yeah, and am I a total heathen for preferring the Shins' Chutes Too Narrow to Dwarves' Blood, Guts and Pussy? Answers on a comment post please ...
