Sonic's "Pop" Era or Sonic's "Rock" Era?

Before Sonic Adventure, the classic Sonic games had more of a pop element to their soundtracks, with Michael Jackson even producing the soundtrack to Sonic 3. Do you like how Sonic's musical atmosphere has changed to a more rock-like environment?

I honestly don't like it. Not saying I hate rock nor the tracks in both Sonic Adventure games, but I just don't see the Sonic franchise with hard rock elements. If Sonic plays it cool and likes to hang loose, I think that's more pop.

I always liked the pop music better. The original sonic games have one of the best soundtracks in my opinion. The music is what made the game so memorable.

Both are good, although now it's becoming more orchestral music, especially in Sonic Colors.

SA Series' rock musics were cool, but after SA series, they weren't cool at all.

I'm fine with both, there isn't really any time though that I'd want to just listen to the music (except the main themes of course) but it feels like the pop is good for Sonic and I guess would be better overall.

I like the more rock and orchestral music he has now. The series still has some pop flavor left in just listen to Free the Free Riders main theme. It's a pop song. I always love the Sonic game's music though one of my favorite songs from Sonic is Super Sonic Racing which is pop. They shift the whole pop genre over to Amy now and made Sonic rock but I  like it.

Techno (Riders and Zero Gravity).
But of the choices, definitely Rock.

Both of them are great.
The Pop music in Sonic will always be better than Justin Bieber Pop.  lol
