Favorite Capitol Bands

[yesno]

I'm probably going to go with The Beatles (a kind of skiffle/"beat" band), Beach Boys (surf rock, but get this, they didn't really surf), and David Bowie (a kind of glamish pop sound, though warning, he gets a little weird, which is why they keep him under this experimental imprint EMI).

There's this band called 'Radio Head' that just got dropped from Capitol.  I like them because they sound like Pink Floyd, but I don't like their new weird techno stuff.  It kind of hurts my ears.

This is the famous "Capitol House" in LA:

I've been getting into this obscure 50s singer, Frank Sinatra. There's all these neat string and horn arrangements behind him - kind of like Sufjan Stevens with more swing. Can we get a Rhino reissue for this guy?

Obviously there's only one answer to this question:



I do enjoy some of the early, skiffle-oriented stuff of the Beatles ... but like Mr. Bowie, they got a little too weird for me. Some guy singing about how he's a walrus??? What the hell is that about?

OK, right off the bat: Cannonball Adderly. Then you've got your Heart, and you've got your Jay-Z and your MC Hammer, although most of that rapper music all sounds the same to me anyway. (They're not even singing, they're just talking!) That's what I call a stacked roster.

They're doing a collabo! Shit's gonna be hot! The working title is "Can't Touch the Barracuda 'til ya Give it 2 Me".

Cold Play.

I'm not familiar with them, really.  I had to look it up.  Honestly.
