I don't mind radio edits, I don't mind stuff being sampled to make totally different songs.
I just hate remixes.

Oh yes and while on the subject,

99.9% of mash-ups are rubbish.
In regards to remixes of rock (or anything that's not originally electronic), I agree with you nearly 100%. But remixes of electronic songs can sometimes be as great or sometimes better than the original. Or sometimes they suck too. But "dance" remixes of rock songs are generally shit. As are mash-ups.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
