Eggman IS Robotnik's name. Just as much as Peach is Princess Toadstool.
In both cases, they're both valid, names to call the character in question, but one is clearly now much more widely accepted as the standard. So, really, stop making yourself out to be some sort of ass, just because you have a "preference". For one, it's not necessary in an awesome thread like this.

Speaking of Sonic music, I'm in a band that does some VG covers in a rock style, and we just completed a cover of Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles Major Boss themes.

From this day forward there shall never be another Sonic music appreciation thread. The entire internet shall now reference this thread when speaking about music in Sonic games. It has been written.

The sonic games did have pretty good music for the most part.

Solaris Phase 2 is such a great song, it's almost a sin to be on such a shitty and buggy game.

Great thread. And haters be damned Sonic 360/PS3 had some good music too.

Wow awesome!
Kind of makes me want to play Sonic the Hedgehog 06 just for the music.

I played a bit of Smash Bros. Brawl today, and the music in the Green Hill Zone level is all kinds of awesome. Sonic Boom, I think the track is called.

Ice Cap Zone. That's all that's needed.
Great thread, reminded me of http://sonicxp.ytmnd.com/ I love the Green Hill music. So awesome.

I figure I'd post this awesome remix of Green Hill zone that I found somewhere a while ago....maybe another sonic thread, I'm not sure. Worth a look it's badass. And if some one can somehow turn this into an mp3 and link it for me I would be most grateful. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ljye7dgNlwM

Good job Sciz. So good I really can't add much to it other than to say I'm glad you included the latter day Sonic games. Yes most of them may be lacklustre but they usually have some gems in the music department. I gotta say I do have a penchant for Crush 40 though I guess I can understand why others wouldn't, but the later soundtracks have moved away from including them for better or worse. At least they still get a look in on the remixes.

I don't know about any of these newfangled ports, but that is NOT the right Sonic 3 boss tune for the Genesis version. That's what the miniboss music changes to when you lock Sonic 3 onto Sonic & Knuckles. The boss theme stays the same, and is correctly identified under Sonic & Knuckles.

Damn man, you've really put some work into this thread. I was wondering when you were going to post this. Awesome job.

Well, I don't show off, don't criticize
I'm just livin' by my own feelings
And I won't give in, won't compromise
I just only have a steadfast heart of gold
I don't know why, I can't leave though it might be tough
But I ain't out of control, just livin' by my word
Don't ask me why, I don't need a reason
I got my way, my own way
It doesn't matter now what happens I will never give up the fight
There is no way I will run away from all of my frights
Long as the voice inside me says go, I will always keep on running
There is no way to stop me from going to the very top

Sonic has always had fantastic music.
Live and Learn! Hanging on the Edge of Tomorrow!
I think I'm in heaven.
If I were to start going into an exhaustive appreciation post, you probably wouldn't see the post until 2 AM EDT. For now though, all I'll say is that it took several years, but I think I've come up with the most underappreciated song in all of the main Sonic genesis games: Hydrocity Act 2.
Also...

Yes, I'm a huge Sonic fanboy, why do you ask?
EDIT -
Actually, there's a technical reason for this IIRC. The little opening cinema in sonic 3 where you had to input the code lagged the Genesis like hell. Basically, the game would only read controller input every 3 frames or so, so it was very easy for one of the 8 button presses to fall into one of those lag frames. To this day I can never do that code in any sort of consistent fashion.

Again with the Jackson-Sonic 3 connection.... I can always picture that song set to an 80s style pop video with plenty of backup dancersjman2050 said:

Awesome thread. Sonic 3 had my favorite soundtrack. Angel Island, Ice Cap, Marble Hill, Launch Base. So, so awesome. Sonic 1 is my close second. Sonic music has been consistently great.

Just wanted to mention that one of the possible reasons why the US Sonic CD has a different soundtrack is that the JP Sonic CD soundtrack uses a LOT of samples.
The boss theme where it goes into "Work that hog to death"(???) was ripped almost completely from some funk song that for the life of me I can't find the title/artist of. There is also the "Good God!" from War. What is it good for? making an appearance in Stardust Speedway. Granted most of the stuff is either obscure as hell or hard to catch but all the same it's something I'd want to avoid(And Spencer Nilsen is a God so more music by him is always a plus).
Not that this is the sole reason why SoA changed the soundtrack but I can imagine this being a possibility.
Great thread although I'm still iffy on the lack of SA2 music.

Man, this thread really reminds me of just how great Sega's music was during the 16-bit era.
