So, What do you think? What's the best theme for Shadow? My Take is:
*Throw it All Away: Good song, but the beginning is a little atonal and takes a while to get into.
*Live and Learn: Classic. Truly awesome to rock out to. I'd have to say this is my favorite, tied maybe with "I am" Some would say this is just the SA2 theme and not truly a Shadow one, but the lyrics make it clear it's about ol' uncle Shadow.
*Danced in Fire: I like it, but it was better BEFORE we heard "Waking Up."
*I Am: A Damn fine song, I must say. Shifts tempo several times, but I like it. and the video that accompanied it was neigh-orgazmic. Tied for my favorite.
*All Hail Shadow: It's grown on me, but it's not my favorite. Odd that they chose it as his official them in Sonic 360/PS3. Crush 40 did the better version.
*Waking Up: Nice song. 80's vibe without being overly angsty.
*Almost Dead: Took a while to get used to it, but it's a good song. did you know it's sung by Rob Zombie's brother?
*Chosen One: Perfect for when I'm having an off day. Very emo, but very cool.
*Never Turn Back: It's not a bad song. I'd love it if not for the fact Shadow has so many other, better and more distinctive themes.
So what do you all think?

Yeah, I agree with you pretty much completly. Live and Learn is AWESOME, I Am is also awesome, and the Crush 40 version of All Hail Shadow is the better of the two.

I voted for Throw It All Away. But with ONE condition. NO LYRICS. The tune makes me want to gag when there's singing in it, but is really pleasing to the ears otherwise.  |

Really? I'll be honest, FakersInc, I LOVE the lyrics, if only for the chorus. you know, the part about throwing it all away.
CRAZYSHADOW: Hells yeah! Live and learn is awesome. Say, have you hear the Crush 40 version of His World? It rocks HARD. In fact, it has alternate lyrics that make me think of Shadow. It's MUCH darker.

I'd probably like it way better than all the others. ;D And yeah, I LOVE the chorus of Throw it All Away. As a matter of fact, that's what was stuck in my head when I was buying a pet hedgehog that I named Shadow. But I kinda had to throw HIM away to some friends  cause he tried to eat my dog... |

That Hedgehog Story is hilarious. I want to know more, but at the same time, I kinda like they was it is now -- Full of mystery.
Like Shadow.
The Crush 40 version of the song contains Lyrics like
"He's the sour tower,
He emits no shame.
Untouched, Crushed,
He Will Remain."
Hardcore. ;D

Whoa. I just listened to every version of His World. The Zebrahead version was cool, but Crush 40... dude I got the chills. That was freakin awesome!! It TOTALLY reminded me of Shadow. And I had some flashbacks to playing the first level of Shadow the Hedgehog over and over just to blow EVERYTHING to BITS!! For the hell of it! That's how awesome it is!

Yeah! The song does remind me of a more consistent "I Am." I loved that opening level too. Such mayhem. No "Green Hills Zone" crap for Shadow.

This might be slightly off subject, but two people I know said that the song "What I'm Made Of" reminded them more of Shadow than Sonic and pals. I dont know why really, even if it was a good song.

I can see that. I think it's because most of Sonic's songs (most of which I do like) are pretty sappy sweet. Especially in Sonic Heros. Thus, when we here the kicks as "What I'm Made Of," it's had to image that it's sonic singing it. I used to think it was mettal Sonic's them, but the more and more I think about it, it's probably Super Sonic's.

I'd say that "Throw it all Away" was the best. Although the lyrics were somewhat hard to hear. But, "I Am" was a good one if you were writting a story about Shadow.

"Choosen One" = win for me. The singer on there was just fantastic!  And the instrumental was also fabulous. |

Chosen one is my number one favourite song, but I Am just totally enthralled me.
Quacker, I agree. The Crush 40 version of His World was better then the original and the one by Zebrahead.
(What kind of name is Zebrahead for a band?)

Welcome to the forums, CeleBaby20!
Seriously, the Crush 40 version is the best, followed by Zebrahead. I was surprised to discover that Zebrahead is actually a fairly well known band out here in LA, if nothing major.
