you better cross Def Leppard out of your list coz they rock !

well i have the worst of all.... "las ketchup" :x with her stupid song "asereje", god why ? the peple make this song a hits....this is like a drill in your ears :x

Heh, I was just listening to that "Oh Ya" song by Yello, you remember that one? Really old school techno. Was it one of the first?

Oh yeah... I remember that tune. That song hit it big on Ferris Bueller's Day Off!



I don't think it was one of the first techno songs - it's hard to say what was the first absolute techno song since first of all, "techno" is such a broad term, plus there have been songs before Oh Yeah; over a relatively short period of time "techno" evolved and split into sub genres we've become familiar with. Lots of artists would likely fall into the category of helping pioneer techno including like Pink Floyd for instance, even though we would consider them more psychadelic spacey rock. But from around the time frame that Yello came out with Oh Yeah there was the band Art of Noise and lots of electro bands coming out of the UK, along with Kraftwerk doing their thing, Psychic TV who were around from 1981 making acid records (and who coined the term Tekno - so they claim anyway.) And there was also Brian Eno, the grandfather of ambient who'd been doing all this kind of stuff since god knows when, and etc. etc. etc. There's really too many to name here.



But I do agree the Oh Yeah song was indeed fresh (and humorous) for the time, and for me it's a bit nostalgic.



This post is much longer than I intended it to be... ;)

oh yeah is a fantastic tune! bom bom bom bom, bom bom bom bom eeeouuugh raaa etc etc - ace!! :)



richie hawtin remixed it in a techno-y stylee (minus orange and minus 'yello' 12"'s ha ha, top themed colour humor Mr Hawtin!!) and also thers a version on the 'harvey wallbanger' ep on the Peaches label thats just come out thats very warehouse, very dirty.



but the original - - oof!! fantastic :)



always loved tour de france by kraftwerk as well - superb electro spoing.



isnt technology great?



:)

you bet. i love the old kraftwerk tracks...they still trigger some kind of response.

I used to like Clock around 1995/96 time; anyone remember them?

There ain't no nice remakes of "Axel F". Trance Atlantic Air Waves being an exception to this rule. ;-)

I thought Clock's remake was pretty good.
