ive never been a big sub pop fan though

Nirvana and Mudhoney. L7 are just okay. That's about it. I don't really consider bands that only had a Sub-Pop single a Sub-Pop band, so I can't include Melvins. They have to have a full-length album on the label to qualify, in my book.

I used to own some Tad albums and traded them. Worst music in the world, that Tad stuff!

Oh, wait! The Dwarves! How could I fucking forget about those fuckers!? Blood Guts & Pussy is my favorite Sub-Pop LP and one of my fave LPs of all time.

Melvins have NEVER put out a record on Sub Pop...

Yeah, I didn't think so either. But there were so many Sub Pop singles, I thought surely they were on one of those.

But yeah, you're right. Boner label, then something else. Not Sub Pop, though.

Also, I think Beat Happening was not on Sub Pop either, except maybe as a "guest" on a split single or split LP with Screaming Trees. Not an "official" Sub Pop band, in my book. They were on the K label.

In fact, I think there are many on that long list above that were not really Sub Pop label bands.

They did have the 7" single on Sub Pop, Red Head Walking. W/, Secret Picnic Spot on side B.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot The Vaselines. I'm ashamed of myself, I was listening to them just last night.

Those are my choices. (From screamingskull's list)

I forgot Codeine.

!!!!!!

dinosaur jr was not on sub pop. they were sst.

and you like L7? wow. first I ever heard of anyone liking L7

Michael Yonkers
Kinski
Wolf Eyes
Nirvana
Thee Hypnotics
Earth

yeah L7 sucked. i never heard of dinosaur jr. being on sub pop. same with the wipers. maybe i'm wrong though.

Yeah, I was aware of that. But not an album. I think Dreamy was later picked up by Sub Pop as a reissue, but it was first on K records.

dino jr is on the website so i assume they did a split or something, but yeah i dont consider them subpop at all, i just said them cuz everyone else is and i dont like that many sub pop bands.

i love the vaselines though and i forgot them.

Screaming Trees was also not on Sub Pop except for a single. They were SST.

Well, I think of the bands who only released singles w/ Sub Pop in this manner, Sub Pop is known for their Singles Club compilations. So in a manner of speaking, those bands/artists are as much of Sub Pop as anyone who released a full album. But that's just me.

sub pop also bougth out a lot of indie distributors, so that may be why they carry dinosaur in their catalog

That would make Fugazi a Sub Pop band too then. Yes, they had a Sub Pop single.

In that regard, let me then include: Poster Children (an awesomely underrated band from the Midwest).

Also, the Fluid had an LP on Sub Pop and a single or two. I don't have their records anymore--ditched them during an anti-grunge phase. But I used to like them. They were from Denver.

At one point I would have listened to just about any Sub Pop band. None of them do much for me these days.

Tad should have been bigger though. They did some great stuff.

I think the lead singer was over 35 and wore jeans, though.

If he hadn't they would have been bigger.

it's amazing to me that so many of you included wolf eyes.

Grunge got old real fast, didn't it?

godheadSilo are pretty fucking brilliant.

Many thanks for the info gmku! I'm trying to remember which single Fugazi had on Sub Pop...

Anyways, I'm definitely going to look into those other groups.

I think it was the "+3" part of Repeater+3. The last three songs on that CD. Forget their names now. I have the single on Dischord, but Sub Pop put out an identical pressing, same pic sleeve art and everything, at the same time. Might have been a Single of the Month thing.
