And don’t get cute and do songs people don’t know are covers like I Will Always Love You or Torn
It’s interesting reading about the musical taste on here. I feel the average demographic of lemmy is mostly USA based late gen X guys.
Been listening to “EDM” since long before it was known as that. Remixing has been the way with electronic music since it’s inception.
A small amount of my favorite remixes in no particular order
The Prodigy - Out Of Space (Cut & Run Booty Space Mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsKfApf3jJg
Databass vs. Koma & Bones - Fade In ‘The Program’ (Koma & Bones Mix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su3o-SG2IHM
Feelin Kinda Strange (Bass Kleph & Nick Thayer Remix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1wB0ogEg6ew

I Feel Love (Dj Jamx & De Leon Remix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kEzFLkBR88
Sizzla I’m Living (Ed Solo & Stickybuds Remix) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGqWkWUe-U0
The Cascada versions are all better than their originals
Sound of Silence - Disturbed (this song is now theirs as far as I’m concerned, the original has zero percent of the emotion it was supposed to have)
Bizarre Love Triangle - nearly every remix is better. The original vocals are so, so bad.
“Spanish Eyes” cover by Faith No More
The S.O.U.L. System - It’s Gonna Be A Lovely Day
The Jennifer Saunders version of Holding Out for a Hero from Shrek 2
“Thunder Road” by Tortoise and Bonnie Prince Billy is phenomenal in a weirdly haunting way.
Black History Month (Death From Above 1979), remixed by Death From Above 1979
Hurt (Nine Inch Nails), covered by Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash did a great cover of Soundgarden’s “Rusty Cage,” too.
Susanne Sundfør - The Kiss: https://youtu.be/sfkSn62OypU
Rebecca Black‘s cover of Fame is a Gun https://youtu.be/3sni1ckbBqw
As much as I like the original, I really like this cover of Smile Again by 40mp.
Chris Cornell’s cover of Nothing compares to you
And his cover of “Billie Jean.”
- Susan Vega’s cover of the Story of Issac is somehow more Cohen than Leonard Cohen’s version.
- Motorhead does Sympathy for the Devil the way it always should have been done.
- Briana Buckminster and Billy Moran made a pretty much perfect acoustic cover of Carry on Wayward Son.
- I have always loved the original, but the Jerry Douglas / Mumford and Sons version of The Boxer has replaced it.
- Clutch now owns Fortunate Son IMO, no one else should play it.
Sleeping in my car - Children of Bodom
Word Crimes, by Weird Al Yankovic
Alien Ant Farm - Smooth Criminal
