More remakes...

Yesterday, I posted five recent 80's remakes. There's a lot more than that, but those were the very best, rivaling even some of the new music being released.

Here's some other remakes (of 70's - 90's songs) I'm a huge fan of...

Go Your Own Way - South Side Crew
This just might be the best remake ever, even though it's not a complete remake (it's more like a sample of the original song). It helps that the first time I heard it I was on one of my favorite spin rides at the Ohio State Fair (Top Scan). The original by Fleetwood Mac was great in 1977, but this is just incredible.

Cold As Ice - South Side Crew
This group does some original material as well, but here's another remake of theirs that's done well. It was originally a hit for Foreigner in 1977.

I Promised Myself - A-Teens
Nick Kamen's 1990 version is perfect all on its own. But in 2004, the A-Teens somehow made it even better.

Jessie's Girl - Collage
An 80's remake by a 90's artist. Lots of retro going on here. Rick Springfield originally made this a hit in 1981.

Who Loves You - Camp
The Four Seasons are tough to imitate. This group did a great job though, changing the song from 1975 disco to 2006 pop.

Call On Me - Eric Prydz
It's a remake of Steve Winwood's Valerie (a hit in both 1982 and 1987). Only a sample of the original song is used in the remake and Steve Winwood re-recorded the vocals for this in 2004.
