Do people seriously think that
Call On Me is better than Valerie by Winwood? And the Say Say Say remix is better than the Mac & Jack original?
Good God what is the world coming to?

Think some of us are getting confused between cover versions and remixes here.
As a kid I remember a cracking 9 minute remix of Two Tribes.

Although will say thought G'N'Rs version of Knockin' on Heavens Door was better than Dylans. Also Hendix's All Along The Watchtower was a lot better than Dylans.

remixes are commisioned you fools, so eric prydz is just a cover as are most of the suggestions on here, plonkers.
armand van helden remix of tori amos professional widow got to number one and is a classic...
nellee hooper mix of sneaker pimps 6 undeground...
the fluke and heller & farley (i think) remixes of bjork big time sensuality...
MAW remix of jamiroquai space cowboy? not as good as original but decent record.
AN INTERESTING ONE IS...
scissor sisters comfortably numb because the record that essentially made them big was a remix by a production team called 'a touch of class' or 'ATOC'... thus comfortably numb sounding different from the rest of their over rated album. keen collectors out there will notice that on the Hotel Pelirocco Compilation (Distinctive 2003) 12" samplers (where the said record was made available first) had the same record but accreditted ATOC as remixers.
Hardfloor remix of mory kante yeke yeke...
there's too many...

Eric Prydz is a remake more than a cover, because Winwood actually re-recorded the vocals for him.
However, a 'remix' is just something that works with the original material, it does not have to be commissioned by the artist or label.

At what point does a sample become a remix *confused*
Agree with Loaded as having set the standard.
Cloudbusting by Kate Bush and Something Good by the Utah Saints, like 'em both equally.
One of favourite dance tracks of recent years was Goldtrix's remix of Toni Braxton's Hit the Freeway, the original was a plodding bit of RnB but Braxton's vocals really came alive over a dance groove.

Must admit I'm quite taken by Belinda Carlisle vs The Beatles, 'Daytrip To Heaven'...
Listened again last night to the dull old 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth', and it just doesn't sound anywhere near as great as when it has that Beatle riff driving behind the vocal...

Sorry, would have that listed among the worst ever remixes - an embarrassing travesty of an unnecessary, ill-judged tinkering.
someone has said Space Cowboy, the David Morales mix is better than the original, Dubfire Needs to Score / Deep Dish remix of Delacy - Hideaway, Armands Dark Garage Mix of Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar is defo one for the sub too !
Royksopp - What Else Is There (Thin White Duke Remix) is also ALOT better than the original imo!
no double ill think of more at some point
