Recently I stumbled upon a 2003 cover of the 1992 classic "Sleeping Satellite". And it's interesting how the latter, despite being more than 10 years older, has aged very gracefully and still sounds fresh to this day:
While the former has aged very, very poorly in sound in comparison:
So it made me intrigued, do you know any other special cases where a cover of a song aged worse than the original?

Can't remember the name or who made it, but there's an early 90s remix of "Sugar" by The Archies that sounds very much of it's time, and has aged worser than the original from 1969...
Also so many early 2010s dubstep remixes of classics songs from the 70s/80s/90s/00s sound extremely dated now, even if they were originally made to sound like a "modern" adaption of the older songs

Oh god, don't get me started on 80s/90s dance covers of 60s songs! Here's a famous example. "Venus" is a great nonsense song from 1969 that still feels like it could inspire indie bands of today. The mid-80s version in comparison hasn't aged particularly well (but so does hi-NRG in general).
