Of the half dozen or so album titles I actually recognize on this list all but one of them came out on a major label.
As I said, I avoided the painfully obvious ones. I wanted to get a well rounded list that didn't include the typical ones you'd expect.

Yes, so around '6 or so' of them came out on majors, but the reception and promotion was similar to that of an independent.
So the rest of the ones that you don't recognize are independents. '6 or so' out of 31 isn't significant, imo.
Today independent is a term used to define any record label not owned or operated by any of the four major record companies (Sony, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and EMI)
