there are those couple of mixes...but they really shouldn't have been done.

BT - Flaming June . . . I've heard this touched, and it was touched in a VERY CRUEL WAY
I don't think most remixes of BT's work come off well. If they do, then they usually take the opposite approach (like the straightahead Junkie XL remix of "Somnambulist", which was an approach in the vein of Gabriel & Dresden's remix of Way Out West's "Mindcircus") instead of trying to pile on additional complexity.
I listen to remixes generally not to hear a "better" version, but to me, it's like a alterative universe sort of thing.

M.I.K.E.'s productions. If you mess with them, they lose their unique style. He, on the other hand, is an amazing "remixer". His remixes really add flavour and depth.

I totally agree with you on all points here. BT - Dreaming was touched, too...by Tiesto (I'm neither aware of ..nor have listened to other remixes, if they exist) and Tiesto's remix made my ears bleed. It was god awful.
Remixes are the Remixer's take on the track, I feel

True. I love the original mix of Push - Journey of life but I couldn't even listen to the Rank 1 remix of that track in it's entirety. I just couldn't. And I've seen people who actually happen to enjoy the Rank 1 remix more than the original. Oh well..tastes do differ.
You're right about his remixing abilities as well. Now how good is Matanka - Lost in a dream (Push Trancedental Mix), for example. It's Orgasmic...ooh

that track is so hot I cant bare to listen to it more than one time a day..
I agree with Jon Vesta - Gull and BT - Flaming June. Also, Paul van Dyk - For An Angel and Robert Miles - Children.

Tiesto's remix of Dreaming isn't all that, true, but there's one remix of it that does rock - Lucid's 12 Inch Mix. Tiesto used it on In Search of Sunrise 2, it's extremely nice.
As for other unremixable tracks....
Sasha - Xpander is all that comes to mind right now, you guys hit the other big ones
