Which system had the best music of all-time?

[Micron]

Talking about Sega CD, Snatcher had a hot soundtrack, too

True.



We're asking the wrong question here. It's not 'which Sega CD games had hot soundtracks', it's 'which ones didn't' because I'm having a hard time thinking of one that wasn't good.

PS2 Exclusive









and Ratchet and Clank Metropolis Theme was fire

Too lazy to post em

Also cant forget the PS1 Sampler Disc and Pizza Hut Disc menu music

Sega Genesis had tracks that you can low key freestyle to. To this day I keep that Bulls vs Blazers music on repeat and straight kill it in the car.



Play this junt with some good headphones/speakers and check out how hard them kicks are hitting on a damn Sega video game. shyt is ridiculous!




Then they break it down with the halftime music

PS1 and Dreamcast for Jungle music, Drum & Bass, Techno, and Darkcore

PS2 for Hip Hop

Those early 90’s SEGA, Midway, and Konami arcade games with the House music, Breakbeat Hardcore, and New Jack Swing-sounding grooves in their OSTs

I dunno how people are voting for SNES when Sega had streets of rage and Sonic thats already RIP level soundtracks
I need receipts to see why people would vote for anything other than that

Sega always had the best music. They were the masters at creating those relaxing beats that made you want to play the game all day.

 

[Knicksman20]

Sega by far. Some greats were already mentioned but you guys forgot about Metropolis Street Racer on the Dreamcast

Bone Thugs N Harmony sampled Eternal Champions and guess what system that provided such a game? That's right...Sega Genesis.

Michael Jackson ghost produced for Sonic 3...you already know what it is.

It's all in the blast processing brehs

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

fukk it, I’m voting SEGA

The SNES wins hands-down. The Genesis had heat, but all of those Genesis tracks have the exact same soundfont.
The crazy thing with the SNES was that nearly every dope SNES game had it's own unique instrumentation and specific soundfonts. No other game sounded like Super Mario Kart. No other game sounded like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VI, or Mega Man X.

You could hear the tracks by themselves and instantly know what game it was just by the instrumentation.

Spoiler

A lot of people are going to say SEGA because MJ (the GOAT) did the soundtrack for Sonic 3, but even he reportedly wasn't really feeling the sound quality of the Genesis...

One of the strangest longstanding rumors on the internet was confirmed to be true today: pop icon Michael Jackson composed music for the 1994 Sega Genesis game Sonic the Hedgehog 3. It was already known that Jackson was originally brought in to work on the project back in the '90s, but following his molestation scandals, Sega claimed to have terminated his involvement. A 2009 story in the the French magazine Black & White contradicted that account, as co-composer Brad Buxer claimed Jackson ended his own involvement with the game due to his dissatisfaction with the sound quality on the videogame system.

Here's Proof That Michael Jackson Composed Music for 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3'
