HildurRemixed/Cover songs that are better than the original
I've stumbled upon a bunch of remixes by Skeler, many times not knowing the original song he was remixing. I then listen to the original and am impressed with how much better he made it. For example:
A$AP Rocky - Fuk Sleep (original, meh):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM5XogpX1JASkeler Remix:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNsJqOvl5l4Doja Cat - Need to Know (original, awful. Most of her music is.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI3xkL7qUAcSkeler Remix:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1YGJBKBpLIOliver Tree - Jerk (original, not bad):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpU_aN54eJASkeler Remix:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lOJfABwe5YVIZE Feat. Lannia - Stars (original, it's ok):

The Isley Brothers - Footsteps in the Dark (original, fantastic song):

Skull LeaderI really want to like Cannons. I don't like the fact that they mess with her voice so much on EVERYTHING they put out. I want to hear her sing.
Back in the early 2000's I was learning German in college and was looking for German music I could listen too. I stumbled on Lafee. I recently looked her up again and she released a 80's "cover" album a couple years ago and although the songs are what I would call "reimagined" as directly translated songs rarely work, I really like it. She does a cover of Thomas Anders' Heisskalter Engel which is a "cover" of Real Life's Send Me an Angel. My mind goes back to my favorite movie as a kid, "Rad" whenever I hear this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvpekTB7WEEAnother one I like is Goldhouse's cover of Fleetwood Mac's Dreams. I like the original, but this one is "modernized".
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zM8Oh3TPOR8He also remixed Billie Eilish's Ocean Eyes which I do prefer over the original.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFrXmm3r8iQHe did Zara Larsson's So Good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U__3KRudhEoAnother guy I follow is Sigala. I really like his Easy Love which samples the Jackson 5's ABC. Not technically a remix, but thought I'd include it anyway.

PrefontaineFor me, The Sundays. Probably best cover I’ve ever heard.
