Final Fantasy VI: Balance and Ruin
Azazell0:
I wouldn't so far as to say that they are crap. Everyone's got their different tastes - I rarely like the "techno" style remixes they got, but I really enjoy many of the piano covers. Especially Chrono Trigger offers such a vibrant source material it's hard to think of a bad CT remix ... from the FF VI album, I like "Full speed ahead" and "A fistful of nickels" best.
My all-time favourite OC Remix track is however "Kindred", a Super Metroid remix by Zircon and Pixietricks. They really capture that haunting atmosphere of Maridia with that one perfectly. Whenever I want to introduce OC Remix to someone I point to this track, and they usually say "This is game music?"
I know there are those who are really being buttwipes toward remixes with vocals but everything Jillian Aversa sings is just great.

My favorite content by far are vocal remixes where lyrics are added to classic songs without lyrics. Many of these on OCR are just chillingly excellent. One that comes to mind is Dale North's Pollyana from MOTHER 1. And he just sings a couple lines of the whole song!

Singing starts only at the end of the song at 2:21.
