The Sonic the Hedgehog series has had increasingly cheesy music. Kyle of Insert-Disc makes a list of the 10 "best" songs the series has to offer.
SEGA has announced Fearless: Year of Shadow, a campaign that celebrates Sonic the Hedgehog and his brooding acquaintance, Shadow.
GamesIndustry.biz writes: "Relic is best known for the Company of Heroes and Dawn of War games, and recently developed the new Age of Empires for Microsoft. Relic will transition to an independent studio and will no-longer be part of the Sega group of studios.
The majority of the 240 job cuts are across Creative Assembly and Sega Europe, while there will be a ‘small number’ cut from Sega HARDLight. There was no mention of other Sega UK studios, including Two Point Studios and Sports Interactive."
Sega had such a turbulent existence from the mid-90s to when they dropped out of console manufacturing entirely in 2001, it’s understandable if you’ve never heard of the Genesis Nomad.
I was wondering where all the classic tunes were in the list but then realised it was a list just for the songs in sonic. Most of which were cheesy as hell and i wasn't a fan of the change from good tunes to cheesy songs. But if they're doing a top 10 list, i think this one deserves a mention.

Out of most of the music, this one was actually alright i thought. Still can't top the classics though

From what i've seen from Sonic 4, unfortunately they've once again fell short of the classics standard, from a music perspective at least
Spring Yard Zone
Stardust Speedway Zone (NA) Past
Ice Cap Zone
Emerald Hill Zone
Quartz Quandrant Zone (NA) Past
Special Stage Sonic CD (NA & JP)
White Jungle Zone
Power Plant Zone
Frog Forest Zone
Jeh Jeh Rocket Zone
I never had a problem with the 3D songs(well, except maybe the secret rings theme), in fact, I see them at equal level as the classics in their own way.
