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 Seņor 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!)
