I'm talking about songs (which are largely good) which are completely ruined when someone starts playing about with beats and samples and the phonics of the song. I guess it can be extended to cover versions too when the band that is covering is covering it in a style similar to the original. The saving grace of covers is that there are some very good cover versions out there, particularly when a song is interpreted completely differently in a new musical genre.

Enya I have always found a little turgid but good chill-out music. Prodigy are very hit and miss but I admire them. Come On Eileen is just an awful song. The remixes you mention sound interesting though - if you could send them I'd appreciate it.
