It would seem #VGMWednesday has fallen on a pretty auspicious day...
So, I clown on Sonic music a fair bit, there is something about it that is a combination of great and cheesy as all hell. I will not pretend that 『Live and Learn』 or 『I am all of Me』 weren't some of my favourite tracks during a particularly wannabe edgy period in my life.
Sonic Adventure and Adventure 2 have some great tracks, leveraging different genres to embody the characters. Giving Knuckles that Hip Hop/Rap approach is a stroke of genius in my mind. It works. It works too well. Even if it is hilariously cheesy. 『A Ghost's Pumpkin Soup』, enough said.
But today I want to showcase another Knuckles themed song.
Who remembers this absolute banger of a Knuckles theme?https://youtu.be/FXglHbYB1Y4?si=6kzBSQn-s1ngPSxL
When I think Knuckles, this song immediately comes to mind and I think it definitely works well as a image song for every gamer's favourite echidna.

So, I acknowledge I have done Sonic a little dirty there.
As mentioned, the Sonic games have an amazing array of vocal tracks in their games, starting with Sonic CD. I honestly think it would be hard to imagine any future Sonic games that don't feature some kind of vocal track.
So, I think it is only fair, to show some respect and honour the hedgehog and the amazing people at Sonic Team to dedicate my entire Month's #VGMWednesday entries to Sonic songs. With 5 Wednesdays in April, I going to hit up 5 different Sonic games.
I'm going to back peddle a little bit, and give Knuckles his dues. 『UNKNOWN FROM M.E』is honestly such a peak Knuckles song.
Knuckles will forever be my favourite Sonic character of all time.
