Well, almost anything by Space Brothers. 
Chakra - Home
Back in August 1997 this was one of the tracks that when I heard first time I had it on repeat and couldn't turn it off even in my sleep. But 3 years later came a bunch of remixes that were very uninspiring in my opinion, with only the Tilt Remix coming remotely close to the original.
Art Of Trance - Madagasga (Cygnus X Remix)
Yes, I know it's Ferry Corsten's "remix" which most people know and love and it's a stunning track in it's own right but it's hardly worthy of being called a remix, more like a very minor re-edit of the Cygnus X Mix. Very unnessacary and it adds nothing. The 2003 mixes should never have happened either.
Jayn Hanna - Lost Without You (Evolution Main Mix)
A storming piece of old style progressive vocal trance with sublime vocals and some lovely piano in there. Bill Hamel and Simon Noble later did a remix of it as "Mezz" which is rather poor and I expected much more from Noble of Breeder fame. But since it wasn't possible to top the original, I'll let him off this time. 
Moogwai - Viola
The original is a storming piece of driving trance following the Platipus tradition of quality melodic. Armin Van Buuren provided a more uplifting remix which didn't suit the style of the track very well at all.
Oxygen - Am I On Your Mind
Another superb Space Brothers production which continues along their tried and tested formula of high quality trance with a lovely female vocal. Space Brothers did their own remix of this in the Lustral Remix which is good enough but doesn't match the original. But the Ian Van Dahl mix is total injustice to the original, and I'm not even going to comment on the Rezonance Q Remix. 
Matt Darey Presents Mash Up - Liberation (Fly Like An Angel) (matt Darey Club Mix)
Some of Matt and Marcella's best work. Ferry Corsten was enjoying great success that year when Dutch anthem trance was at it's peak but that didn't stop him from putting out a couple of mediocre remixes and his remix falls into that category.
Oh well, there's my personal choices.
