Before I start this thread, I'd like to wish everyone on this site a Merry Christmas. Hope your holiday was filled with cheer and presents. 
Now, on with the thread:
As a fan of video game music, I've listened to the sounds of both the SNES and the Genesis and IMO they have their strengths and weaknesses. However, when I go to different forum sites discussing which soundchip is superior, the one thing people say is "The Genesis's soundchip is great for composing rock music". Huh?
I could never understand how that's possible. Sure, techno music I can get by, but...rock? How is rock music better-sounding on the Genesis than on the SNES? From what I listened to, it sounds horrible-especially the 'guitars'.
IMO, as far as video game rock music goes, I believe it sounds better (And more realistic) on the SNES.
