Wait, remixes or covers? I'm confused. I was, too. Perhaps the title needs changed?

I guess they could be the same thing, but usually I think of a "remix" as taking a song and rearranging it into a dance/electronic song.

If we're going to talk covers, the other day a radio station played a Donnie and Marie cover of Steely Dan's Reeling in the Years. It was so bad, that I couldn't identify the song, even though I knew the words were very familiar. (They played it to punish a caller who had done poorly in a quiz.)

Mani, What would you consider Johnny Cash's version of NIN's "Hurt", a remix or a cover? It almost seems that to call it a cover, cheapens it. But he filled it with more soul, more angst, more grief than the original, and I loved the original. If that makes sense. It's a cover. There is no remix to the song.

Here's how I define
Remix: a DJ adds techno beats to the original artist's work Cover: another artist sings a song performed by another singer

They are playing the piece exactly as it was written, yes?

I was thinking Johnny's was an "un"mix, since he removed the static, the distorted guitar and echos found in the original. His is a cleaner version (background musically speaking) than Trent Reznor's.

I like Halestorm's cover of "Get Lucky" by Daft Punk more than DP's version.
