    I think it depends entirely on the type of music. Just listen to those I recommended you compare (The Tube and Glider Rider). There's no way anyone is telling me the SID versions sound better, because they quite clearly don't.

    As far as sound goes, I prefer SID to AY. Musically, I tend to prefer AY to SID whenever there is a choice.

    On a sidenote, I was rather shocked to learn that so many games had completely different music on C64 and ZX.
