Remakes of old hits

What is your opinion on remakes of old hits of past artists, by either the same or a different artist in the future?

One instance would be 'Cruel Summer':

Original track: Bananarama - Cruel Summer (in the 80s)
Remake: Ace of Base - Cruel Summer (in 1997)

I prefer the original track due to it's authentic 80s tune & rhythm to it; whereas the remake is more of a dance mix, which spoils the rhythm/theme of the song.

Any other remakes you'd like to mention?
