Yeah I know this doesn't really have anything to do with the main points of this topic but I figured I'd throw this in here because up until this topic, this was my favorite Sonic song!! Absolutely incredible build in the intro and just explodes into an absolutely jazzy bop from start to end. It's actually crazy how many parts could be my "favorite part" but I can't even pick... the intro, the sound of the sax at 0:33 and later, the filters on the lead at 0:47 and 1:29, the solo at 1:43, just the sound design in general... god, it's just so good.

EX16: Sonic Forces - Fist Bump
Composer: Tomoya Ohtani
Score: 74/100 (7.5), ~27th of 174

I had to go with one of the vocal songs, and so I went with this one cause I think my opinion of it... might not be shared with too many people? I always see people joking about this song and I'm never really sure if that's just a byproduct of the game that it's in, but it is really good! The composition itself is pretty funny because of how many cliche chord progressions it has but then it also has bursts of beauty like the recurring pre-chorus (0:34 and elsewhere) which is REALLY COOL. I wouldn't say the vocals are great necessarily, since there's a lot more "pitched yelling" than actual singing sometimes I feel, but that's also kinda cool its own right so I can appreciate it a lot as well! Very good song!!

EX17: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Staff Roll
Composer: Brad Buxer, Michael Jackson
Score: 71/100 (7.3), ~34th place of 174

I was wandering in the rain (Mask of life, feelin' insane)
Swift and sudden fall from grace (Sunny days seem far away)
Kremlin's shadow belittlin' me (Stalin's tomb won't let me be)
On and on and on it came (Wish the rain would just let me)

How does it feel, How does it feel
How does it feel, How does it feel

When you're alone and you're cold inside

....it's actually pretty crazy how nostalgic this song is for me now that I know its significance in relation to a song that I've heard since early childhood, way before I ever became the absolute VGM junkie that I am nowadays. I thought it was pretty damn cool on first listen, but on subsequent plays after getting knees-deep into the whole Sonic 3 & Jackson situation... it hits a bit differently now. A song very befitting of the role of a credits song, that's for sure!
