... Or love to hate, pick whichever one you like.

I asked this in another forum, and I thought it might be interesting to post it here. So yeah, basically I'm asking what remixes make you love Ayu's music, and what remixes make you want to throw your CD/mp3 player out the window because you hate them so much... okay, so maybe some of us don't hate them that much to throw them out the window, but you get what I'm saying. So, I'd like you guys to list what remixes you like/love, hate and/or don't like, and why you like them or don't like them. Please respect everyone's opinion, and don't flame them for it!

Here's my contribution:

The remixes I love:

M "Above & Beyond Remix" (I think this is the best remix that they have ever made of any of Ayu's music. I have been known to listen to this remix for a whole day and not get tired with it. I LOVE THIS REMIX!!!!)
And Then "VOICE SPECTRAL MIX" (A very well put together remix of And Then. And Then is my favorite song, and the futuristic sound to it really helps the lyrics stand out. This is another remix that I listen to constantly.)
Fly high "-NON-STOP MEGAMIX- N.S. DANCE MIX" (A long song, but I love the style of it and how many remixes are put into one overal dance mix.)
SEASONS "H-H Remix" (I just love this line "Rub it to me, shuck it to me, bump the DJ, kick down!" This is SUCH a fun song to dance to!!)
CAROLS "S.T.F. Mix" (This gives a high beat and rocking attitude to CAROLS. I just love it!!)
SEASONS "D-Z Blue Sunbeam Mix" (This starts in minor and then goes to major. Somehow the melody just works perfectly.)
SURREAL "Marc et Claude Mix" (The sound of the piano crystal clear really tunes me into this remix. It's relaxing, in a way.)
FRIEND II "MAKE MY MAD MIX" (A very well done remix of FRIEND II. THe beats and pauses really make me wanna jump and dance listening to it.)
HANABI "Lange Remix" (My favorite HANABI mix. The melody works with the sadness of the lyrics.)
HANABI ~episode II~ "HALs MIX 2003" (Again, the melody is light and doesn't overpower Ayu's voice.)
Moments "Flying Humanoid Mix" (A very interesting name to a very interesting remix. I swear I keep on hearing jingle bells in the bckground of that song.)
Depend on you "dub's electro mix" (There are songs where I enjoy the creators using Ayu's voice as actual intrumentation. This would be one of them.)
A Song for XX "030213 Session take #2" (I'm so glad they actually did a remix with ASFXX after Ayu did A BEST and resang A Song for XX. It just sounds awesome.)
POWDER SNOW "Acoustic Orchestra Version" (This was my first remix to download, and I remember nearly crying when I first heard it.)
Depend on you "Svenson & Gielen Club Mix" (Very bouncy! It makes me want to dance!!)
I am... "Ramon Zenker Remix" (Clearly one of the better I am... remixes. It has so much life to it.)
WE WISH "Ramon Zenker Remix" (This is another favorite of mine. The harmony is mixed very well with the background and doesn't overpower Ayu.)
Real me "Megara vs DJ LEE Remix" (This is just a cool remix. The melody... everything.)
Free & Easy "GIGABREAK MIX" (A very unusual name, with a very danceable tune!!)
fairyland "Bright field mix" (fairyland is hard to remix, so this was done very well.)
STEP you "DJ TAKI-S**T More Step Up Remix" (What can I say? This remix has it all, plus a tropical feel.)
BLUE BIRD -harderground mix- (A light tune that doesn't rely on heavy melody lines to carry the song.)
Ladies Night ~another night~ (This is just a WONDERFUL remix. Ladies Night is just so hard to remix, and this was done sooooooo well!!)
Voyage "Dirt Devil's Remix" (I'm not a fan of Voyage, but I will listen to this remix just because of the upbeat rhythm and melody it has.)
Boys & Girls "A Eurosenti Mix" (I love the piano part. Much better than the Eurobeat Mix.)
appears "Agressive Extended Mix" (I like many appears remixes, but this is one of the few that stands out.)
I am... "nite clubber's mix" (Another well done remix of I am... not too much melody overtakes the "dub" part of the song.)
kanariya "Power Mix" (I think somehow kanariya should've been made as a guitar song, not like the kanariya you hear on LOVEppears.)
Endless sorrow "Dub's Forever Mercy Mix" (Another dub song I enjoy, mainly because I love Endless sorrow.)
appears "Junior's Club Mix" (MY FAVORITE APPEARS REMIX. Loads of fun to dance to.)
INSPIRE "Inspire Energy Mix" (YAY FOR BOUNCY SONGS!! XD)
kanariya "System F Mix" (Another well made kanariya remix. One of the very few, I might add.)
Endless sorrow "A Agressive Mix" (Very fast, very danceable. Me likey.)
SEASONS "So Happy So Sad Mix" (The flutes are so cute in this remix.)
Duty "Eric Kupper Big Room Mix Radio Edit" (Very fast, but it keeps the attitude of Duty with it the whole time.)
from your letter "pandart sasanooha remix" (I love the horse and drums in this song. It makes it sound like a cartoon.)
Connected "Talla 2XLC Remix" (If they had made this the original mix, I would have never searched for other Connected remixes.)
SURREAL "Dub's Floor Mix Transport 006" (Very well done. A little long, but the melody is danceable to, and you have all those extra songs at the end too.)
Duty "Power Mind Mix" (Another guitar mix of Duty that keeps the beat going.)
Connected "Ambient Mix" (For some reason I like the piano piece in this remix. Don't ask me why...)
Naturally "Wippenberg Mix" (I love Naturally, and this remix only makes it better.)
Heartplace "Dreamland Euro-Power Mix" (This remix truly captures the feelings and emotions of Heartplace [at least I think so], and the melody is enough to want to listen to again after the song finishes.)
appears "HALs Mix" (Another remarkable remix. This is all set in minor, so it gives it a spooky sound as well as the normal melody.)

The remixes I hate:

CAROLS "Hammond B-3 Whisper Mix" (I'm sorry, I LOVE CAROLS, but I just CANNOT stand this remix, it does no justice for the song)
Daybreak "Orion Too Remix" (I think they slow down her voice too much in this song, and I was never a big fan of Daybreak anyway)
Dearest "Laugh & Peace Mix" (I usually love this series of remixes, but I just didn't like this one for some reason...)
Duty "Sky Modulation Mix" (The repetition of "DE" just gets stuck in my head and the remix just doesn't seem to help Ayu's vocal capability)
Endless sorrow "Hex Hector Main Radio Mix" (This song just makes me want to twitch)
evolution "Oriental Hot SPA" (I don't dig the entirely-drums-for-music melody here)
Far away "CRAFTY Remix" (The background voices are annoying enough as it is. Add them to Ayu's voice and try to make a melody and you have one bad remix that screams "I WANT TO BREAK YOUR EARS!!")
Fly high "I.M. Remix" (SO ANNOYING!! >.< It sounds worse than music you hear from Super Nintendo! [No offense to SN players, I love the Super Mario Brothers theme])
I am... "Huge fairy tAle mix" (Reminds me too much of a dub mix)
July 1st "Dub's FunFUN Remix" (I just didn't like this remix overall, there was something missing in the melody)
kanariya "Full Vocal Mix" (Not many kanariya remixes impress me, just because it's a difficult song to remix, this is one of my "throw-out-the-window" remixes)
M "Sweet Heart Mix" (For some reason, the softness of Ayu's voice in M mixed with guitars doesn't work too well in my ear)
NEVER EVER "Empty Pot Shuttlecock Wood Mix" (Another drum melody remix that I'm not fond of)
SEASONS "BUMP & FLEX RADIO EDIT" (Another remix that reminded me of a dub mix)
SEASONS "Neutralize - Final Attack Mix" (One of my least favorite remixes for SEASONS, it sounds incomplete and awkward with the repetition of Ayu's voice)
SURREAL "Thunderpuss DUB" (Don't get me wrong, I love all SURREAL mixes except for this one... blehhhhhh... Maybe it's mainly because after hearing Ayu sing "Ah..." for three minutes repeatedly, it gets annoying and hurts my ears?)
too late "Soul Solution Remix" (Not a big fan of too late, and the repetition really gets to me after a while)
UNITE! "No. 1 Blueberry Wonderful Mix" (Again, another drum melody mix that somehow doesn't fit the style of the song, and it's hard for me to hear at first)
vogue "pandart sasanooha mix" (I don't really understand this remix. Is she out in space or something? It sounds like astronauts are speaking over her...)
WE WISH "Dub's Club Mix" (The melody and Ayu's voice don't quite match... and there's some dissonance in there... XP)
