Yello

Some of you might find this boring, but if you're right into music, then you're going to appreciate it.

Back in 1985, I started my college days, and I was studying Fine Arts. The six years that I studied there, would have to be one if the best times if my life. Anyway, because I love music so much, and found that music also helped me be more creative, I use to take my little tape recorder to classes and share what I was listening to with other class mates. Because it was a college of study, the age groups were different, ranging from just out of high school and those that had retired, so the music I played I had to find a balance. One day, a friend came up to me and handed me an LP, she said, "have a listen to this, it's different but I think you'll like it." I looked at the cover and thought, wow, this looks very surreal and unique. Can't wait to get home and listen to this. After hearing the about minute of the first track, I was mind blown. By the end of listening to side 2 I was hooked, and from that day I became a fan. I knew that after hearing, what was their forth album, I wanted to hear more of their works.
Now for those that have never heard of Yello, their style is Electronica or Electronic Music. They have been going since 1980 and their last album was released in 2009.
When I mention to people about Yello, they say that they've never heard of them, till I say, well have you heard of the song, "Oh Yeah" yes I've heard of that. Oh Yeah has been used in a number of movies and is the most heard song. Although it is a great song, they have so many that are just as good or even better.
My favorite songs are, in order of release.....
Bostich (1980)
Homar Hossa (1981)
Base For Alec (1983)
Oh Yeah (1985)
Si Senor the Hairy Grill (1987)
The Race (1988)
Rubberbandman (1991)
Suite 909 (1994)
To the Sea (1997)
Croissant Bleu (1999)
Planet Dada (2003)
The Expert (2009)

Try, Like Children......Jan Hammer &Jerry Goodman.
I got interested in Jan Hammer years ago, because I loved Miami Vice. He's good, like many others. But Yello is unique, and is not like Jan Hammer, Jean Michel Jarre, Robert Miles, Vangelis, or even Mike Oldfield. Don't get me wrong, I love them all, but Yello are the kings of Electronic music.
Remember them well Doc,my older brother was into them,,Very under rated band in my view..."THE RACE" is awesome and was massive in the uk...Still played frequently in clubs over here....cheers motorcycle pizza elephant reunion group hug guitar detective shimmy typing dancing dog rose in teeth

jello is jealous in Canadian slang, happy your so happy doctor, enjoy your tunes, whatever floats your boat yay
I don't know about jello, but Yello probably means something in Swedish or French. But I think you'll find that Yello means Yellow.
