My least favorite Yello track is Dr. Van Steiner. I love Jingle Bells ... 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
"Now baby, you're changing all the rules, you're taking advantage of a fool..." For me Dr Van Steiner is one of the strongest, and one of the more complex, theatrical pieces of music. This is a dark piece of music, before the trance genre even started playing with minor chords, powerful, decisive, melancholy, it even has a hard edge. Is this a show, a show within a show, are we inside looking out? Or is it merely a parallel. Who (including the listener) is where in relation to the players in this song? And what is "he" a doctor of? -- Regards, Nic. We are the architects, not the victims of our own destiny
