so, a deftones song just came on itunes shuffle and my wife's like, "who is this??" and i say, "deftones!" and she says, "whaaat? i thought deftones were an r&b group! or wait... is that def jam?" i say, "no no, def jam is primarily a hip hop label, mid '80s forward"—and i play a bunch of beastie boys, epmd, slick rick etc. etc. and then she goes, "so wait—what is daptone?" and so i play sharon jones for her (and also i secretly start this poll on ilx)

deftones vs. daptones could've been competitive but i guess def jam's got this on lock

Love the 'Tones both, but Def Jam was an anchor of my young teenhood and musical discovery years. They're just another label these days, but their early days make them completely unfuckwithable in any context.

This is actually tough because while Def Jam has certainly released ten times the number of classic records of the other two combined, the other two have a much better hit to miss ratio. Def Jam has plenty of stuff stinking up its back catalog.
