At least they've done one thing right for Sonic and the Black Knight.  Can't wait for this Wii exclusive.

I have to say, the beginning reminds me of Sonic Heroes.

I prefer this:

Superior to WoW's

Anyway, I like that Crush 40 is working on the theme, I hated Zebrahead's theme in Sonic 06.

What is the exact nature of the relationship between Sega and Crush 40.......they've done quite a few songs for Sonic games.

This might help, as much as I hate Wikipedia.

Interesting, that's a rather close relationship.

Does not compute.  Emerald Hill FTW.

Anyway, random rock-ish songs can go crawl into a dumpster for all I care.  They're only tarnishing Sonic's name.

Would you prefer if a new Sonic game is released with all 16-bit music?

Considering Capcom just did an 8-bit Megaman 9... I'd love it. 

Honestly, Sega needs to rediscover the elements that made Sonic so great once upon a time.  10 years from now, people probably won't remember any of these rockish themes but Chemical Plant, Emerald Hill, and a few others will be known even then.  That's the magic that comes with a great game.  Sonic had that once.  I don't know if Sega will ever find it again, but I hope they do.
