Is it a nostalgia thing? Their songs just... aren't that good. They're fine but but the non Crush 40 stuff like Endless Possibilities, It Doesn't Matter, Speak With Your Heart are all miles better than the generic melody-less butt rock Crush 40 produce. Best one is Open Your Heart by far and even then it doesn't rank in the best vocal themes of the series.

Exactly! More great Sonic music that's better than Crush 40's stuff.

But that's basically a Crush 40 song.

It fits the tone of the game perfectly...that's all there is to it. ..Or helped set the tone perhaps.

Have you tried playing Crazy Taxi without the original soundtrack? It's not the same game.

Sega always had a very strong music game. Probably the GOAT in that regard, industry-wise.

Thinking back it's probably nostalgia on why I like them so much.

Live and Learn still brings a lot of hype for me though. Same with Open Your Heart.

I dunno, I feel like there's a subset of gamers who don't listen to real music, so the music from the Sonic series seems like the most awesomest rock to them.

That was true for me when I grew up, lol.

I still like to listen to a lot of VG music these days though.

Yeah, theyre cheesy and lame, but it was perfect for that era of Sonic games and they clearly enjoy playing those songs, as demonstrated at the 30th anniversary symphony. Its fun, theyre having fun, have fun and sing along to the ridiculous lyrics.

Shadows various theme songs are great edgy cheese, to go off the beaten path.

The way the crowd went fucking wild when Live and Learn came on
The way Johnny held the mic out to them so they could sing along

It was amazing, simply amazing

Just to be clear, I don't think VG music is inherently bad. There are a lot of talented composers out there. I just feel like saying to those gamers, you know, throw a little Shostakovich into that Nobuo Uematsu playlist, you won't regret it.

I can't speak for their other songs, but for Live and Learn, it was just so hype. The instrumental for Live and Learn is the main theme of SA2, but the first time you hear it with lyrics, is when you're fighting the final boss and it's just a crazy moment.

It's just Jun Senoue (sonic music composer since Sonic 3) and the vocalist from a band called Hardline. it's cheesy but it's fucking sonic the hedgehog music, what is it supposed to be? i guess maybe people would prefer instrumentals, which is fine, but people gas on like crush 40 and sonic songs with lyrics killed their parents

No it isn't? Unless you call Crush 40 "any band with Jun Senoue in it". But I can't find any instance of that song being credited to Crush 40.

They don't fit Sonic at all. All the buttrock the series has had since Sonic Adventure is terrible. Shit was bashed when the 3D games first came out, but now that the 2000s kids who were introduced to Sonic with them have grown up, they're more vocal about them.

The songs from Sonic R are better than this shit. Please tell me how upbeat dancepop music somehow fits Sonic any less than wannabe 80s buttrock.

i'd rather listen to the final fantasy soundtracks over any of the music played on the radio, with very few exceptions. there's nothing wrong with it, the medium that the music came from has no bearing on its quality and doesn't make it any lesser than songs that weren't made for video games, that strikes me as an elitism mindset

Escape from the City may as well be a Crush 40 song. Ted Poley is just as bad as Johnny Gioleli and Jun Senoue's guitar riffs are as generic as ever.

They arent good music but they are good music. As a kid the songs were very catchy, memorable and extremely hype. As an adult theres the nostalgia factor and how iconic they are. Even if they were brand new, they would be good in a so bad its good kind of way and the cheese factor

Crush 40 is cheesy as fuck, and so are the other vocal Sonic tunes like Dreams of an Absolution, This Machine and Livin' in Paradise. But shit, we're not talking about high art here. I love this shit, even to this day, because it's so over the top and fun.

I'm not making posts on social media like "GIVECRUSH40THEIRGRAMMY" or whatever the most extreme expression of fandom might be, but I still enjoy the vocal tracks from Sonic games. I think they're awesome.

If you don't get the appeal, that's fine. But there's nothing wrong with it.

I saw your last post about Sonic R, the SatAM cartoon theme, City Escape etc.

You know you don't have to front for anyone, right? You can like shit and be as earnest as you want, because no-one can ever touch that.

Those aren't wannabe Guns n Roses songs; they're better than anything Crush 40's ever done, which is why I brought them up. I just deleted it because it felt redundant.
