Retro? Or modern Sonic soundtrack?

[The Sign Painter]

Can you guys honestly say that this is better than this?! Don't get me wrong, I love the Mario main theme. It can be remixed countless times and never get old. But the fully orchestrated music that Super Mario Galaxy brought just blows everything else away... Maybe not in terms of memorable songs or how iconic it is, but strictly sound speaking, Galaxy's music is superior.

Dats Mario, not Sonic.

Yeah, I can say that, spending more money and having it orchestrated doesn't make it better music, after all, the people who made old music worked to make it great music to listen to.

Some concept. >_>

And I know that most of you prefer old Sonic to new Sonic, but that doesn't mean you have to stick with the same low quality music... >_>

A lot of the new music is great. Just a few random songs that I love...

So you're saying older music is low quality?

Well, it is... Not in a musical sense, but in a technical sense. While you can still create awesome music with beeps and boops, as shown by older video games, real instruments (or sound files that imitate real instruments, not just beeps and boops) can make even better music.

Well, of course instruments can make better music than those beeps and boops, but the reverse is also true, what makes the music better is the musicians talent not the instrument he uses.

Yes, of course. And I think that the new music (not all of it, mind you) not only makes better use of the technology available, but sounds better, too. But again, it comes down to opinion...

True, it's all subjective.

I will agree, some of the newer tunes are pretty good.

 

[Shadow Jolteon]

I prefer the newer Sonic music. The older stuff seemed really... Generic and sorta disorganized for some reason. Green Hill Zone was great, though, and seems to keep popping up in some newer games, which is cool.

Edit: Now I have Green Hill Zone stuck in my head. >___> *Opens iTunes.*
Edit2: The song when you beat a level was pretty good, too. =P

Get them boy bands out of my game music.
