I think I have to agree with Nic. Blender would be my favourite. The helicopter at the start sends shivers up my spine.

Yello remixes ramblings
by Jon Kamm 03 Jul '06

03 Jul '06

My least favorite Yello track is Dr. Van Steiner. I love Jingle Bells and all the remixes of Jingle Bells. I listen to them quite often. I love all the Yello tracks that get remixed Oh Yeah, The Race all of them. The remixes are new songs to me. I enjoy what each DJ has done to make the song original to themselves. Sure some are not as fun as others but even if a DJ remixed Dr. Van Steiner I would still get excited about it and enjoy what they chose to do to the song. If I dismissed a remix simply because "it's a remix" it would make me sort of a Yello supremacist. I am not a member of the YYY : ) So I guess my list of best to worst would be. 1. Every Yello song 2. Dr. Van Steiner

Yello singles - best to worst
by Mark Pulley 02 Jul '06

02 Jul '06

It's interesting how our preferences differ. I have just put together a list of Yello singles, ordered from what I think is the best to what is the worst. (If I was to do this another day, I'm sure some of the tracks would swap places, but the worst one is quite definite!) I have counted the 7" versions, with the exception of a couple of singles that were only released on 12". Pinball Cha Cha (single remix) (I haven't heard the 7" version, only the two 12" and New Mix versions) Desire (single remix) She's Got a Gun Let Me Cry (1983 version) Of Course I'm Lying Jungle Bill (1992 Remix) Squeeze Please Oh Yeah (note this is not at the bottom of my list). Lost Again Drive/Driven The Race (7" edit) (The album version would be higher on the list) How How Rubberbandman Tied up The Rhythm Divine Call It Love Bimbo Who's Gone? You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess (12" version) Goldrush Suite 904 I Love You On Track (Remix) Bostich (Note that I have this well below The Race) Vicious Games Planet Dada (one of my least favourite tracks on The Eye) To the Sea (Remix) (the album version would be higher on the list) Blazing Saddles Live at the Roxy I.T. Splash Do It Jingle Bells (definitely the worst Yello single ever) I'm sure you all have a different order - let's all have a look! Mark P. ----------------------<http://users.tpg.com.au/mrpulley/ >---------------------- The Doctor: Nurse, could you prepare to apply the skedaddle test? Peri: Are you sure that's wise? The Doctor: I think the alternative could be much worse. ("Doctor Who: The Trial of a Time Lord Part 5")

But then again that is what this group is for. Everyone has their own opinions about the group good and bad! And I applaud you for it. In a way it shows you how far reaching they are when everyone is arguing about it! Maybe they are more powerful than we give them credit for! I am happy to hear what everyone has to say as it gives a more balanced view. It would be a strange place if we were all the same, isn't that the saying? _________________________________________________________________ Be one of the first to try Windows Live Mail. http://ideas.live.com/programpage.aspx?versionId=5d21c51a-b161-4314-9b0e-49…

Oh Yeah Booka Shade Remix

cars10 wrote: sorry to interrupt your euphoria, but oh yeah was imho the weakest yello single ever and I`m not really thrilled to hunt down any remixes of it. perhaps it was just dull enough to make it one of the greatest hits for them, but even if I consider a good part irony within it still doesn`t make it more than an acceptable joke. second weakest yello single imho would be the race : bostich trimmed down to a mainstream approach (of course very well done - therefore second weakest single). but don`t ask me for the third position - suggestions ? cars10 ----------------------------- Thats the beauty of Yello we all like them for different reasons. You do like something about them don't you?
