Her voice combined with the production sounds pretty excellent. It sounds like a classic Bond theme.

Top 10 Bond movie opening tracks

I am sure Adele will crack my top ten once I hear it in full

These are songs with lyrics (Dr No and OHMSS are legendary in their own right)

10 - The Man with the Golden Gun
9 - The Living Daylights
8 - Goldeneye
7 - You Only Live Twice
6 - Casino Royale
5 - Thunderball
4 - Diamonds are Forever
3 - A View to a Kill
2 - Live and Let Die
1 - Goldfinger

I love the Duran Duran - A View To Kill theme song. My co-worker saw them last year in concert and they played it and he said they had the naked lady silhouettes dancing on monitors.

DAAANNCE INTO THE FIYYYAAAA

Best opening too: http://youtu.be/KkMuXhHd4ak. The 80's were so awesome.

 

[jett]

That was all right, sounds appropriately Bond-ish

Best bond song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aHQnDTd1y4

Tru dat.

Now you will do well here my friend.

Someone who knows what's up!

 

[Gray Man]

Wow, his song is a really perfect blend of the old and new bond. That's also the vibe I'm getting from the movie.

I still think Live and Let Die is the best one though.

 

[whytemyke]

Almost as good as Snake Eater...


God. Just listening to it reminds me of climbing that ladder when the a capella version comes on. I need to do a replay. Or buy the hd pack

 

[- J - D -]

I like it, but I wish they got Cynthia Harris from Snake Eater to do the Skyfall song.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

I can't even deny Snake Eater. Shit is perfect.

[Jimothy]

Fuck I can't wait for this movie.

 

[sweetvar26]

Hype train!!!

 

[Kagari]

As it should be.

Miles better than the Quantum of Solace theme... that song was so terrible I couldn't wait for it to end the first time I saw the movie.

 

[Monocle]

Adele did a good job. The song sounds like a classic Bond theme, as others mentioned. I like how they didn't go modern this time. Given current fads, you'd almost expect some sort of dubstep bullshit.

I think I'm anticipating Skyfall almost as much as I did Casino Royale.

I can't even deny Snake Eater. Shit is perfect.

Yeah, it's shockingly great. I just heard it again on YouTube. Not having played MGS3, I could barely believe the song wasn't from a Bond film the first time I heard it. The lyrics eventually give it away, but still. Impressive stuff.

I wish more games had quality themes like Snake Eater. Imagine how cool it would be to have an Indiana Jones-ish intro song for Uncharted or even Assassin's Creed.

 

[Baconsammy]

I like it. Has a cool 007 vibe. Adele sounds like Adele but without the angsty woe-as-me shit lyrics in her own songs. My favorite 007 song is still far and away View To a Kill.

 

[Arment]

Sounds brilliant. Never really listened to Adele much but this one is begging to get playlisted.

 

[Phonomezer]

Adele continues to embarrass the faves with such class and effortlessness.

Thanks.

This is a really classy theme. I dig it.

 

[Slayer-33]

This shit is silky

 

[-COOLIO-]

pretty awesome. she's the quintessential bond singer.

 

[- J - D -]

Lots of people hating on the QoS theme song in here. Perhaps rightly so, but it's still better than Die Another Day, from Madonna. The worst.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Yes, there is not enough love for that song.

The video is great, too.

I do really like that. As someone else stated, very underrated.

Come on, you have to put 'All Time High' on there. sadface

My sarcasm meter is on low battery

 

[SCULLIBUNDO]

I keep listening. It is exactly the kind of opening Bond song I was praying for. I fucking love it.

 

[Expendable.]

I can't stop listening without picturing how damn awesome the titles will look. I don't know if its just Solo, but Skyfall may have crept up to my #1 most-anticipated film next month. We'll see.

 

[Cyan]

Sweet! Sounds like a proper Bond theme.

 

[demosthenes]

All according to plan for Solo.

 

[Mau ®]

WRONG THREAD lmao

 

[royalan]

Taylor's RED (single) is now available.

What kind of advertising...?

 

[Mengy]

Well, that sounds like a damn good Bond theme. This movie is shaping up to be incredible, the more I learn about it the more hyped I get. And this theme song just made it go up a few notches more.

Wish I could hear the full song right damned now, LOL!

 

[Monocle]

Yes, there is not enough love for that song.

The video is great, too.

The World is Not Enough is probably my favorite Bond theme.

This is missing Nobody Does it Better - Carly Simon - The Spy who Loved Me.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Yea, that's a Bond theme alright.

 

[polyh3dron]

The Living Daylights theme gets no love. It's right up there with A View To A Kill IMHO.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9p0FJnk2vM

But yeah I agree with Solo giving OHMSS the #1 spot.

 

[Cyan]

A lot of people love that one, and I've never understood it.

In retrospect, it's a fine song, but it just doesn't fit Bond for me. The first time I saw the movie, I was painfully surprised by the opening titles. Maybe I'm being unfair to the song, I dunno.

 

[Quick]

Any love for The Spy Who Loved Me song (Nobody Does It Better)? It isn't near the top of Bond songs, but I'm quite fond of it.

EDIT: YES, XEKE.

I dunno, I think the lyrics describe Bond to a tee.

I love The living Daylights as well as License to Kill's theme.

 

[RustyNails]

Meh. Didn't like it.

 

[Koodo]

I can just picture the titles flourishing along with the crescendo.

OMG, this opening will slay lives.

Fuck yes. Bro fist.

It is definitely a top-tier Bond song.

 

[Discotheque]

I keep listening. It is exactly the kind of opening Bond song I was praying for. I fucking love it.

Yeah it's really smooth. It works so well. I think I like this preview....more than You Know my Name. Sorry Solo.

Still my favorite of recent Bonds was Goldeneye.

edit: maybe I'm wrong. the end of You Know My Name was pretty baller. But damn this song is what I've been missing.

 

[Quick]

It is definitely a top-tier Bond song.

Not going to lie, it bounces around in my personal ratings here and there, but I consistently mention it as one of the best ones.

 

[speedpop]

Sounds great. Haven't watched a Bond movie since GoldenEye. Got a lot of catching up to do. All in good time.

They should let Radiohead do the next Bond theme.

 

[Krev]

How can people not like Nobody Does It Better?

 

[Monocle]

Casino Royale and Tomorrow Never Dies

Correct.

 

[SerArthurDayne]

How can people not like Nobody Does It Better?

It's good. Not sure if I love it as a Bond song, but I am only on Thunderball as I work myself through the movies in context, so I will wait until I get there. It has been a while since I have seen many of these movies, especially the Moore and later Brosnan ones.

Anyways, I hate making lists, but it is definitely a solid song.
