Yo people, what other music do you think fits for sonic games? Some of my thoughts:

Those are just my top three game choices, but this isn't just limited to game tracks:

What tracks do yall think would fit with sonic games? They can be stage theme specific or theme tracks for characters.

I still can't use this.

70s and 80s Pop and R&B tends to remind me a lot of Sonic 3's music, mostly because of the synthesizer instruments and melodies that were popular at the time. An easy example is Evelyn Champagne King's "I'm In Love."

I gotta say, that song makes me think of sonic CD, maybe fitting stardust speedway in the past. I tend to lean to Electronica, breakbeats, and classic rock.
Good exmples:
Electronica(kinda rockish to):

Classic style rock:

To tell the truth, a sonic game with many different types of music would be good.

I object to your claims
For some reason, I think that techno would be fitting for a Sonic game.

I've been thinking of starting this same thread!
I'm an independent musician(Multi-instrumentalist/singer/songwriter/producer; including drums,guitar,bass,keys,trumpet,and electronica, as well as other off the wall instruments like harmonica and various exotic percussion) I've been in the industry seriously for 7 years now. I've played on 5 different record albums, was in a national touring act for 2 years. And currently play drums in a Folk/Indie Rock band and am working on a solo project with my wife on the side. So music is kinda my thing.

I think that sonic characters each kinda have their own music styles that fit them..

Sonic-Rock
Tails-Pop Rock
Knuckles-Rap Rock
Amy- Girl Rock
Eggman- Techno/Electronica
Shadow- Heavy Rock/Electronica

that kinda scratches the surface. But thats how I feel the characters have always been portrayed. Music used to be a much larger part of the Sonic series then it is now, (SA2 comes to mind) but I feel like SEGA has neglected this part of the Sonic experience as of late. I mean nearly anytime you see AMY on a screen "My Sweet Passion" plays. and that came out for the 1st Adventure game!

I'd like to see music being a closer part of Sonic again. But maybe have them work more on getting music composed that doesn't necessarily describe the character in the lyrics (Unknown M.E. "Knuckles Theme" from SA1) but just have the actual MUSIC describe the character. It really sets the mood for the character.

When I listen to Nas, I can see Knuckles sort of rap-miming the words. A few examples:

The World is Yours
One Mic
Made You Look

i completely agree with you dude.
the sonic music isnt what it used to be.
sure sonic and the black knight brought back crush 40 and the rock genre for sonic which i think is quite fitting for the modern sonic era.
but after that they changed it to unleasheds music. which endless possibilitys was a goid song but the orchestra type of music didnt really fit sonic in my opinion.
and now colors is gonna have more of an upbeat sound to it.
which isnt bad but i miss crush 40...
a Sonic game should have all types of music just like SA2.
if you have time to worry then you have time to run and never look back

You listed "Made you look"!? Wow, I must've found one of the few sonic fans other than me who actually likes rap. Anyway, the instrumental would have been a good beat for wild canyon in Sonic adventure 2. The world is Yours(new link because yours is gone now) would have been good for death chamber or pumpkin hill, and one mic would've been good for aquatic mine.

Speaking of rap, OX from the Madworld OST would work for a sonic stage BGM, and for shadow. Sick YG would have made a good Meteor Heard track.

Yo people. For a while I've been getting into dubstep music and finding all kinds of new tracks to listen to, I'm bring this topic back up to see what other ideas you guys might have(If that's OK).

Engine-EarZ Experiment - They Live (Would work really good with a fcotyr or space theme stage)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDVqOf3gfto

Cut & Run - Liquid (You be the judge on the stage theme, but this is just a cool track)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVsD5QuhIlY

Personally, despite SA2, I think heavy rock or just plain rock in general would fit Knuckles more than rap rock.

I don't really know why, but when I think of a theme for Knux, I keep thinking of something along the lines of Pride and Glory.

How about a good old vs. character song? For this, here's a very fitting theme:

Power Field (vs Craft) from the Rockman Zero "Physis" remix album.

Me and my friend tried to work on a really, REALLY bad Sonic movie when we were kids. And by movie, I meant it was feature film length with multiple sequels like Godfather. It was horrible. But anyway, I remember one theme that fit Knuckles perfectly.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMDTGLpkgeY&feature=channel_video_title

Is it possible to please one person? Yes.

Is it possible to please 10 people at once? Possibly, but highly unlikely.

Is it possible to please over 7.4 billion human beings at one time? Impossible.

Do not attempt to become the world's breadbasket, because it is the equivalent of torture.
