Whaddaya think of em? You prefer the original and despise the newer version for "killing the feel" or what?
Personally I've almost always liked covers cause they vastly improve or just sound better by comparison. Ex Red Hot Chilli Pepper's "Love Rollercoaster" just whoops the original's monkey ass, and Metallica's covers of all their influence's songs like "Blitzkrieg", "Am I Evil?", "Green Hell", "Whiskey In The Jar" etc. sound better cause they're heavier.
Remixes....ehh, it depends. Some change it too much, some just suck. If they make it into a better dance version for the clubs (like the remix of "California Love") its all good I guess

I take 'em on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes a cover is better than the original. Sometimes the original beats the remix. Sometimes it's hard to pick. Found a couple examples. I think I like the cover of this one more, but it's a close call. Everybody Wants You: Original (having trouble with the link. Just pick it off the list when it comes up) CoverHere's another. I love the original, but I gotta say, the cover really kicks ass. Black Betty: OriginalCoverBy contrast, this next one is an example of the cover band screwing up a good song. Born to be Wild: OriginalCoverNow, here's a couple decent covers: Decent CoverOkay coverAnd a really shitty remix: Shitty remixAnd dear God, WTF is this? |

I like Marilyn Manson's cover of Tainted Love. All his other covers are trash, IMO.
Also, he should be sent to hell. no one is better than Depeche Mode at a Depeche Mode song.

I dunno. I thought his version of You Spin Me Right Round was alright.
...That was him, right?
EDIT: Nevermind. It was Dope.

Another one that popped to mind when I was listening to The Who:
Limp Bizkit (I believe it's them) and their cover of Behind Blue Eyes was a pretty damned good attempt at covering The Who, but I still prefer the Who's version.

I heard a girl try to cover "Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit."
I wanted her head on a plate.

some covers are indeed better and some suck a*s
whiskey in the jar however should be played by the dubliners
i think only the original author could be the judge of that
apart from that its a matter of taste (or the lack of it)
