To be more specific, I thought, what are the songs that are pre- ESSENTIAL YELLO that could fit onto CD1 (1980 - 1991) - and what are the songs that are post-ESSENTIAL that could fit onto CD2 (1994 - 2007)? I think it should most definitely be allowed to use songs from the REMIX releases, as there are some amazing songs there - especially from 'Hands on Yello' and 'Eccentrix Remixes' for CD2.
I haven't had any time to think about this, but here's the tracklisting I have on the tapes (yes, tapes) for my car. At 90 minutes per tape it's a bit long for two CDs... maybe 2x 2CDs (I could then throw in a few more bonus songs). Astute readers will note that 3rd party remixes have been banned from these tapes! Side 1 Night Flanger Blue Green Eternal Legs (very rough cut at the end) Ouad El Habib Desire For Desire Lost Again No More Words Crash Dance Heavy Whispers Base For Alec Oh Yeah Desert Inn Side 2 Sometimes (Dr Hirsch) Let Me Cry She's Got A Gun (Live At The Palladium NY) Daily Disco (1985 / "New Mix" version) Moon On Ice Le Secret Farida Si Señor The Hairy Grill Tool In Rose Of Course I'm Lying Otto Di Catania Capri Calling Side 3 Tied Up In Red (too long for Side 2 so I moved it here) Drive / Driven Blender Jungle Bill ("Essential" Edit as I couldn't fit the full length version here) Suite 909 Night Train Fat Cry Celsius On Track (with a few seconds of "Monolith" before the tape ends) Side 4 Resistor Houdini Distant Mirror Croissant Bleu Liquid Lies Tiger Dust (I've got no idea why I swapped Tiger and Junior - I probably recorded Tiger first by mistake and couldn't be bothered going back to fix!)) Junior B Distant Solution Time Palace Unreal ... of course now a new album is coming out, I'll have to do some reshuffling (or put a CD player or iPod in the car!)
