[ARGH - I have no idea how to tell this damn forum to not embed YouTube videos and just post links. As a result this thread is a lot messier than I intended. How do you do it?]
It's a Sonic pack, not a Crush 40 pack because only half of these are "officially" Crush 40. The rest are Jun Senoue collaborating with other vocalists which he apparently likes doing. And then there's His World, which was performed by Zebrahead, but written by Johnny Gioeli, the other permanent member of Crush 40.
All of these are awesome tracks in their own right and are enjoyable irrespective of anything to do with Sonic (excepting E.G.G.M.A.N.)
All of these songs have active parts for all members, except for one instrumental track. Most have guitar solos, and the last one has a drum solo opening. 7 tracks total.
Jun Senoue & Tony Harnell - It Doesn't Matter - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDpZ9Qg761I - Sonic's theme from Sonic Adventure. Hardest aspect is probably vocals, unless you change octave a lot.
Crush 40 - Open Your Heart - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qH_MCPcjxP0 - Theme of Sonic Adventure. Mostly included for guitar, which is by far harder than the other parts.
Jun Senoue & Ted Poley - Escape From The City - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6NaZrPQGfY - First level theme from Sonic Adventure 2. Shortest of these songs, very good for bass though.
Jun Senoue & Paul Shortino - E.G.G.M.A.N. (SA2 ver) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWiSEyU76M4 - Eggman's theme from Sonic Adventure 2. Boring bass (I think) but nice for everything else. Awesome solo.
Crush 40 - Live and Learn - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9zZus_1_ag - Main theme of Sonic Adventure 2. If only one track on this list gets into Rock Band, please, god, let it be this one. Drums are the only part that won't totally kick ass, being merely quite good. Very awesome (but short) solo.
Zebrahead - His World (original Zebrahead version) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vETpDp0-W5c (sorry about the video) - For the love of god, this is NOT the Sonic 2006 credits version. Should just point that out. One of the hardest songs (especially guitar solo) and lots of very fast talky parts. Nothing that a fan next to the mic can't handle, right?
Crush 40 - What I'm Made Of - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuVAaU63K7k - Theme of Sonic Heroes. Not that big a fan myself, but if you released a Crush 40 pack without it, there'd be riots. It would be, at least, fun to play.
Jun Senoue - Won't Stop, Just Go! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIWl6cmiSLc - Instrumental (so no vocals), Green Forest theme from Sonic Adventure. Very fast, most likely very fun on all instruments. Even has an awesome bassline. Very nearly almost has a bass solo. Very definitely has a short drum solo at the start.
I would buy that so fast.
Optionally, include
Crush 40 - (I Am) All Of Me - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VpYfMxIoR4 and Crush 40 - Never Turn Back - (piano opening strictly optional) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRAI1gM7AKM for added fanservice but no one will care that much if tracks from Shadow the Hedgehog go missing. The others are much better anyway.
