SEGAbits Sonic 20th Anniversary Playlist
« on: March 13, 2011, 07:03:32 pm »
I was listening to some sonic tunes and since the franchises are so rich of good music, I thought a thread like this would be interesting. The title says it all. Pick two songs from the whole franchise which you like best. I was going for one at first, but than I thought that 2 would give the opurtunity for an old gen and new gen song to be picked. Embedded youtube video would be best. :D

It was really a hard pick for me, untill I came across my sonic cd OST, specifically the japanese one.

Here are mine.

Wish they still did this kind of music

Two songs? Just two?! I make my own rules and pick some of my random favorites.

Sonic the Hedgehog: Labrynth Zone - I love the somewhat laid back, but very positive feel of this, it fits Sonic really well in a strange way. Sonic music is never going to be like this again, sadly.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3: Final Boss - I love this one, makes you feel like this is your last chance, and the world's only hope. Pretty damn epic.

Sonic Adventure: Welcome to Station Square - I think this is the most under appreciated Sonic song of all time.

Sonic Adventure 2: Rumbling Highway - I personally think this is the best song ever for Tails, it should have been his theme song. This is my favorite song from Sonic Adventure 2, it is in my opinion the perfect mix of new and old age Sonic style.

Sonic Unleashed: Shamar Adventure Field at Night - Absolutely brilliant song. Very high quality and long.

Sonic Spinball: Lava Powerhouse Zone - Brilliant track. I love how dark it is, but is not obnoxious like most of the later dark Sonic stuff.

Sonic 06: Tropical Jungle Swamp - It pisses me off how wonderful this song is. Especially later in the song, around 2:20, which was actually cut out of the game (probably because it sounds too much like older Sonic games)

Anyways, this last one was done by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi. If you listen to it closely you can actually hear his voice in the back a bit. I love it!

I think we can do honorable mentions too. (yea why the heck not). :mrgreen:

I am not too fond of most sonic adventure 2 music tbh. I mean I like metal harbor but it's not something i'll listen. Songs from adventure 2 which I listen are mostly not very rock orientated. I love this song

[youtube:3523yq49]J3An_2rRMEg[/youtube:3523yq49]

Tomoya Ohtani is the one responsible for most of these kind of songs and ever since unleashed, he's become the main mack daddy composer. The lead music composer with occasional cooporation with Jun Senoue. He played big part in sonic 06's ost.

I wonder though, what do you guys think of asteroid coaster? I thought it sorta resembled adventure 2's but done right.

@sega uranus

I love sonic 06's music. Great pick

Escape from the city and chao garden . The others not so much. :$ Never been fond of vocalized theme songs. But I guess that's what they have been doing ever since sonic cd. I loved sonic shuffle's intro music however!

Take that you!!

I can't seem to find the proper Who It Is/Ice Cap remix... :
« Reply #8 on: March 15, 2011, 12:17:12 am »
I don't know if they're my favorite, per se--but they really stand out.

The first is the ending music from Sonic the hedgehog 2.  It's the first time, I think, that I ever felt moved by videogame music.

This music makes me feel like everything's going to be okay.


The second is from Spring Yard Zone.

...For no other reason that I always catch myself randomly singing it.  :|

I freaking love that intro dude!

As some around here know, I'm pretty fond of Sonic Shuffle. I think it's a great game and find odd that other people don't. But that's okay..

I love Crush40. The Daytona tracks and all. I like classic rock and strong vocals, so SA2's soundtrack is pretty much perfect for me.

Speaking of Sonic CD...

this is great..

Asteroid coasters sounds nice. But it's very new to me. I haven't played Sonic Colors yet.. :)

You know, if you guys want to get really into agreeing on the BEST Sonic tunes, we could nail down a comprehensive list that fits an 80 minute CD-R and I could write up a "SEGAbits Sonic 20th Anniversary Playlist" article later this year.

Not providing files or anything, just saying "the writers and readers chose these XX tracks, conveniently they fit an 80 minute CD-R. Just sayin'."

I think the only real rules would be that no game can monopolize the list (maybe put a cap at home many can be repped from one game) and the whole 20 years must be observed. Not every title needs representation, but every title deserves a chance at making the list with a song, even if they get voted off.

I don't want to hijack this thread, so if anybody thinks this is a cool idea, I can make a separate thread.

Bah, True Blue is all Crush 40 and remixes. I'm talking recommending original tunes, even oddities like Tails Adventure and Sonic Labyrinth would have a chance at being featured.

This is how I feel about Barry's Sonic articles and the True Blue albums.
