The only ones I tend to listen to are:
 
 My Lighthouse (single version)
 Countdown (single version)
 My Legendary Girlfriend (Caff single version)
 Common People (Motiv 8 Club remix)
 Disco 2000 (7" version)
 Disco 2000 (Motiv 8 Discoid remix)
 Party Hard (single version)
Party Hard (Chocolate Layers remix)
Party Hard (Christopher Just remix, it's fun every now and then!)

 So the bulk of these don't deviate too far from the original versions. I was always more interested in B-sides to be fair.

Do they count as remixes though ? They are alternate mix from the band, so to me, not remixes 

But i agree, bsides are always more interesting. Remix is a weird (and to me kinda lazy) genre, because with tools now, even 20 /30 years ago, you can do 100 remixes by randomly cutting and pasting putting bits here and there and it will do something listenable. Its the equivalent of throwing a bag of spaghetti on the floor to me. There's always gonna be something that will come out of it.
