The morre the merrier.
I am also a fan of Drive Driven
When you mention that you are looking for the rest of the Yello Albums, do you mean in any specific format as in VINYL, CD, Cassett...? Or just any format to get your music library complete?
I have a good collection of vinyl, but most of the new stuff as in From the days of CD's, not much, as there aren't many, if any, exported to Canada. (Funny that, where you would think that a CD would be easier and cheeper to ship than a 12" single or album on VINYL.

Greetings,
Blender gets my vote for its incredible opening sequence.
BTW: My first post on this forum. Been a Yello fan since 1988. Special ordered One Second just for Oh Yeah after hearing it on Ferris Buellers Day Off.
When the CD finally arrived, I was able to listen to all the tracks besides the one I knew about. Soon, I was shouting OH YEAH.
One Second is still my most-listened-to CD. Best music for the car. The best way I can describe Yellos music is that it has a sense of Presence that Ive never experienced from other music.
Cheers!

Although these polls were started soooo long ago, I presume it is ok to still post here!
Baby is such a delightfully diverse album with so many good tracks, that I don't know if I can pick just one favourite... The album runs the gamut of Yello stylings: from Boris Blank cinematic soundscapes "Homage to the Mountain" and "Sweet Thunder", to hilarious Dieter Meier story-songs "Ocean Club" and "Blender", to lusty retro-lounge tunes "Capri Calling" and "Drive/Driven", to high-energy sample-laced dance hits "Rubberbandman, Jungle Bill, Who's Gone?" and "On the Run"...
Though some here dog the "Rubberbandman" track, I enjoy this song. I really dig how Dieter Meier channels Satchmo so convincingly here. And the bridge of the song, where Billy Mackenzie's backing vocals and the piano bit come in, is really strong... So strong, that Boris returns to this bridge to end the tune. I almost wish that "Rubberbandman" was longer and "Jungle Bill" was shorter. I think I prefer the Essentials version of "Jungle Bill" to the one that appears on this album; It's tighter.
The sultry singing of Billy Mackenzie makes "Capri Calling" a killer track, but why does this song sound so truncated? Did Yello release an extended version of this track? Again, shorten "Jungle Bill", extend "Capri".
Like a good number of other participants of this poll, I have a soft spot for "Blender". If Baby packs a lot of diverse Yello goodness into one album, then "Blender" packs a lot of it into a single song! You've got a goofy Dieter Meier storyline (Random Tux, the blender-salesman/womanizer --oh, that Dieter!) ...so goofy that it's cool... Plus you've got the cinematic aspects of the music (take away Dieter's vocals and couldn't this be the backing music to a James Bond action sequence?)... And on top of that the song is quite danceable!
I tell you, I *could* vote for "Blender", but the song that follows it on the track list, "Sweet Thunder", is so great, that it really prevents me from choosing. This is a sonically awesome song. Like a lot of Yello music, there is only one way to listen to "Sweet Thunder" and that's LOUD! Again, this track is music as cinematic storytelling. We don't have Dieter narrating here, but there is a story being told nevertheless. Also, has anyone else noticed that "Sweet Thunder" is the obvious musical grandparent of "Beyond Mirrors", the track that would later serve as the finale to Yello's Pocket Universe album?
Holy cow, I've sure typed a lot! I better stop... No one will probably see this anyway! Oh well... All hail YELLO!

'Jungle Bill' and 'Drive/Driven' are very close contenders, but I simply have to give my vote to 'Sweet Thunder'. A wonderful closer to a nicely varied album that I wasn't immediately impressed with upon early listens. It never fails to entertain me now.
The corridor was entirely decorated with Astroturf - it was like walking through a tubular field.
