Originality is always something difficult to find, espicially in music. Sometimes a song your parents loved as a kid will be revamped for this generation, you'll love it, and your parents will tell you of the original.
So out of all the songs you listened to, and you know are remakes, which one do you think is the best of the best? This can also include songs that are redone in video games that you enjoyed, and anything else. And make sure you try and add the original artist and what/where you heard it from (the newer song, and who its by).
Here's my List:
Sir Ivan - Live for Today

Smooth Criminal - AAF, originally by Michael Jackson
Holy Diver - Killswitch, originally by Dio
Bill Blaster! Run Faster - Paper Mario, remake of Airship theme from SMB3
Boys of Summer - The Ataris, originally by The Eagles (Eagles is slightly better, imo)
Black Magic Woman - Santana, originally by Fleetwood Mac
That's mine for now.
