    Do you tend to like "remix" versions of songs or do you think they ruin the original version?

    I tend to hate remixes but I've been really into the Georgio Moroder remix of Midnight by Coldplay for whatever reason. I really like the added vocals and the fact that he didn't make it into a trance dance track that most remixes try to do.

    I like very very few remixes!
    But if I hear the remix first, then sometimes I don't like the original as much.

    One of few I like:

    Put only the things after the 'v=' in the tags. So it'll look like this:

    Generally I don't, but there are a few I've encountered that I do like such as the Kaj remix of Medicine by Daughter, the Rocque and Waslewski remix of Sunset by the XX and the Kygo remix of I See Fire by Ed Sheeran. I think I tend to like remixes that don't try to do too much to the original and stick to the original vibe of it.

    I have 3 versions of Heaven Lost An Angel by Zendaya, one's extremely fast, one's slowed down, and ones a higher pitch. So yeah I like remixes, as long as they are done tastefully.

    I'm also a big fan of Avicii!

    Covers and remixes I think are awesome when they take the original and turn it into something completely different. For remixes as long as they sound unique and like a complete song I like them. Otherwise what's the point if you're just remaking the same thing?

    Depends on the remix, but the general answer would be "fuck yeah".
    I like mashups, genre-changing remixes, and contemporary versions of classical songs the most.
    I'm pretty unlikely to like nightcore and daycore, though.

    Considering almost all of what I listen to is EDM, remixes tend be very common and very good. At least, depending on the subgenre of EDM.

    This is impossible to answer.

    It's kinda like you're asking "Do you like songs?". Yes, I do like certain remixes. But just as I don't like most songs, I don't like most remixes either. There are some gems though. In general, I only tend to like remixes of songs I already liked before hearing the mixed version. Also, when Soulwax mixed something... you know it's going to be good.

    Metronomy - Love Letters (Soulwax Remix) - YouTube
    PULP VS SOULWAX - AFTER YOU - YouTube

    Also, The Knife. Jenny Wilson - Let My Shoes Lead Me Forward (The Knife Remix) - YouTube

    Edit: HOW COULD I FORGET THIS. Florence and the Machine + the xx = best. thing. ever.

    My favourite remixes are the most radical remixes.

    Some remixes are better than originals and vice versa. In particular, my favorite remixes are:
