Sonic CD (JP), with SA2 and Black Knight close behind.

Where’s the Secret Rings and Black Knight options? I don’t care if they’re spin offs they deserve mention.

I’m going to throw a wrench into this by voting for the only Sonic game I’ve ever actually played: “3 And Knuckles”.
I thought it was pretty groovy.

I probably should have. Maybe I’ll make a second poll for the spin-off games (Storybook Games, Sonic 3D Fighters, Boom, etc.).

I gotta with SA2 on this one. Crush 40 did an awesome job on the soundtrack. I can’t hardly see Eggman (Robotnik) without immediately hearing his theme in my head.

…BTW you also left off the Sonic Advance games. I mean, the soundtracks there weren’t that remarkable, but still they at least need to be on the ballot so you can say “No, this other one is better”
:wink:

Honestly it’s really hard to choose, I think most of the games have fantastic soundtracks.

Actually, Crush 40 only did Live and Learn in SA2. The rest of the songs were sung by other vocalists. I believe most were composed by Jun Senoue.

Judging from the style switch between some songs on there I could have swore they did more…not a whole lot more, but at least Live & Learn, City Escape & E.G.G.M.A.N.

I picked SA2 because of Jun senoue, and his signature sound on the stage music. On top of that, the chao music is the icing on the cake.

I was sad I couldn’t pick other games because I like songs from just about all of them. Mainly the Crush 40 songs. I COULDN’T live without “Sonic Heroes Theme”, “Free (Sonic Riders)”, “I Am All Of Me”, and I’m even enjoying songs from games I haven’t played such as the “Black Knight”, and “SA1”.

@RGLOfficial Do you play sonic games? I think you told me you liked a track or 2 from one of these games.

The Chao Kindergarten singing was sooo cute.

I tried once to figure out what they were actually singing, and from what I understand (Don’t quote me on this, I may be waaaaaay off) it’s pretty much gibberish.

Geeeeeezzee.

The fact that i could follow along and almost recite those songs, despite never actually listening to them consistently, is a very scary indicator of how much i played this game when i was little.

I never did get all the emblems, so im actually doing that right now! This time, im using some minor glitches in the chao garden. I’ve raised plenty of Chao for hundreds of hours in my lifetime without glitches, i think i deserve to use a glitch or two by now!

You’re telling me you played Free Riders but not Black Knight or SA1?

What are you doing lol

Knight Of The Wind was pretty good. I’m not a big Crush 40 guy though…

Black Knight is actually my favorite Sonic game from when I was little. Funny enough, I didn’t enjoy SA2 as much…

YAAAASSSSSS!

I was trying to think about some memorable songs from Sonic 06, and i couldnt remember any. But while listening to some other songs i found “Dreams of an Absolution” again. I remember not liking it, but now that i’ve listened to it a couple more times, i really like it!

I still REALLY dont like the mixing in this song. From a music production standpoint, auto-tune is awful to listen to, and the song doesnt drive hard enough to be a decent trance song.

However… If anyone happens to have control over the audio mixing with their computer (via Audio interface, or internal audio mixing such as Beats Audio), I really enjoy mixing the song with these EQ settings:
-H: 1.40KHz 7dB
-M: 465Hz -8.7dB
-L: 237Hz 4.6dB

That’s my favorite track in the entire game. I especially love the LB v JS remix.
