My Favorite Record Labels of the 2000s

This is the final best of the decade music list here at Il Buono, and boy is it a good one. Actually, it's not any better than anything else. Regardless, this list celebrates my favorite record labels of the past decade. A great label is one that has a purpose, an aesthetic, a interesting lineup of artists, and a consistently great music output, whether it's abundant or not. (And good CD packaging doesn't hurt either.) All these labels, in my opinion, are great labels.
