What genre of Touhou remixes most appeal to you?
N-Forza:
Honestly, like my tastes in 'normal' music, my preferences are all over the place and I can appreciate just about anything. Rock, classical, trance, etc. can all be cool.
However, I have a soft spot for three genres: Jazz, House, and Eurobeat. The Swing Holic albums and anything else by the Swing Holic Band on the other Sound Holic albums are pure awesome. I recently found a group called Hatsunetsu Mikos who do kind of jazzy house-like muisc and they're pretty good too. I want to get those yearly Touhou Jazz compliations but they're kind of expensive now, being out of print and all, and I don't really know where to find torrents for Touhou music. Eurobeat is sadly underrepresented, and I mean like the kind of Eurobeat you'd hear in Initial D, but the few songs in those styles are fanTASTic. Again, Sound Holic is pretty much the only group I know that does them, and they rule. They've done IN Stage 3's BGM, MoF Stage 4's BGM, Yuyuko's theme, and Aya's theme in that style and they're probably my favorite Touhou songs out of everything.
So yeah, go listen to more Sound Holic. They own.
I still need to listen to Tamusic's Touhou Violin albums I picked up a while ago. I heard good things about them.
I forgot to mention Crow's Claw. I've only listening to his Frozen Frog album, but it's phenominal.
Drake:
The easiest way to tell is to manage to cram your best music into something like 2 gigs. It's pretty definitive.
Just looking through stuff, I can say...
Violin, lots of Piano and Orchestra in general. Shiraha, Reine Oktave, Mukyou, etc.
Epic, mindblowing pieces such as 藍ノ光 from NeutraL's PCB and pretty much anything from O-Life Japan.
Standard rockin' stuff like AQUASTYLE, NeutraL, Dark PHOENiX, IRON ATACK, GYRO MiX, dBu, etc.
Other oddities that I'll find like one track in an entire album or something. Some happy jumping songs come to mind like As／Hi's GEKKOHSEKI and Soy-W's Marching Cat.
Despite this, I don't have lots from more hardcore groups like MyonMyon and Demetori.
Happy Hardcore, Eurobeat, ear-raping techno and the like is really hit-or-miss. Black and white. I'll like some, but not most.
Kojiremi:
My faves are nazz-chan's Brightness and Darkness albums, so some rock and contemporry/orchestrated pieces there, And MyonMyon's Steel of Scarlet Tracks which are all rock, IOSYS of course which is kinda all over lol, dbu yeah. Those are my faves off the top of my head. overall touhou or otherwise i like Jazzy and Techno/Ambient etc. And Rock/Metal. I'm more inclined to listen if songs are in those categories but i'll listen to anything just about. I'm not a fan of rap at all but i think Touhou could use some good raps like how these guys did
That would be friggin sweet.
I like rap when its meant to be funny. Otherwise i normally turn away. :/
bloop:
I've enjoyed almost every genre of rearrangements I've come across, but I'm most partial to chiptunes and metal.

Too bad Touhou isn't near long enough to write a decent rap.
