One of these days, give us Muse, we need it!

 

[Hatchtag]

Go unconventional as shit with it and pick St. Vincent.

 

[Cosmic Bus]

the adele one sucks

lol. It's as classic as they come (in this day and age, at least). The only genuinely great theme the series has had in 20 years.

Wishlist would be for Clare Maguire to do a theme, but it ain't happening. Goulding would be God-awful.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

pls be Radiohead

they can still write songs when they give a fuck

I didn't know I wanted that, but I want it.

lol. It's as classic as they come (in this day and age, at least). The only genuinely great theme the series has had in 20 years.

Yeah, the Adele song is great.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

I hope its the ying-yang twins!!

 

[Einchy]

Let the Spectre
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
Let the Spectre
When it crumbles
We will stand tall
Face it all together
At Spectre
At Spectre

It works perfectly.

Mýa will not be denied.

actually, scratch that

Lana Del Rey could never

 

[Korey]

Lana Del Rey

Lorde

 

[Pachimari]

So are we getting both the title, artist and the whole song revealed tomorrow? Or only the title and artist?

 

[Symphonia]

They should go all Live Aid and have various artists singing it together. It would be magical, for sure.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Lana Del Rey

Lorde

[Cosmic Bus]

I do like both of these - never knew Mya's even existed until now, tbh. Shirley Manson's is better than it probably should've been, and certainly more restrained than I was expecting back then.

Having just listened to all the themes again the other day, I'd probably say my favorites are Goldeneye, Live and Let Die, Diamonds, Spy Who Loved Me,
View To a Kill; biggest missteps are easily Moonraker, Living Daylights, and Quantum.

 

[dmshaposv]

Just get adele again, and make bank based on the main song.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Hope it's Florence Welch!

 

[The English Conquistador]

How on earth is there no love for License to Kills theme? Shit is incredible. Tomorrow Never Dies also has a fantastic theme.

 

[amnesiac]

One of these days, give us Muse, we need it!

Supremacy would have been perfect.

 

[Toa TAK]

Hope it's Florence Welch!

If only.

 

[scarlet]

pls be Radiohead

It's one direction.

 

[Dabanton]

For me both CR and QoS main themes are better than Skyfall, which like the movie, was rather reductive and droning.

 

[chicko1983]

It's top 5 for me:

Goldeneye
Skyfall
Goldfinger
Die Another Day
You Know My Name

Hopefully it's a good one. The Craigs Bonds have only had one miss, theme wise.

I like them but I think my list also includes

Live and let die
You only live twice (still gets played as background music in the new ones)

 

[Pachimari]

I watched Goldeneye for the first time this weekend, and the theme song made me cringe. Tomorrow Never Dies has a good one though. And so do Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Skyfall and License to Kill.

 

[Diprosalic]

Another Way To Die is Craig's GOAT song. I'm hoping for Radiohead, please no Sam Smith.

 

[Sojgat]

Ellie Goulding would work, but I'd rather they get someone interesting.

Also, The Living Daylights is probably my favourite Bond theme.

 

[redmetal86]

You Know My Name and the title sequence that went with it worked so well together. I hope whoever does the theme can pull off something like that, although different.

Well, since no one else said it, I guess I'll do it. I liked The Man With The Golden Gun.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

holy fuck radiohead was the rumored frontrunner


god pls yes


Wow just saw that Daniel Craig interviewed Thom Yorke at some point:

please no

 

[Gonzalez]

Shame there are only two New Wave Bond themes. License to Kill should have been #3.

 

[Doffen]

Better be Kygo.

 

[Betta Lines]

the adele one sucks

I strongly agree.

 

[GCX]

Janelle Monáe would a good surprise:

Mark Ronson ft Sam Smith presenting Croydon Skunk

seriously, I hope it's Sam Smith

 

[Tugatrix]

One of these days, give us Muse, we need it!

we already have that

[Fat4all]

Lets go back to Sheryl Crow, I liked the theme to Tomorrow Never Dies.

 

[Cindres]

One of these days, give us Muse, we need it!

After they released Supremacy:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avM_UsVo0IA

I figured they'd do a great job, this one already sounds like a bond theme at times. I think it's just because it has bits that sound kinda like the QoS one though, which is a shame because damn I hate that theme.

Damn, if Craig's a big fan this may actually happen.

Radiohead's covered a Bond theme song before, too

Wait... when did Ariana Grande sing Skyfall?

 

[orochi91]

The Weeknd.

Please, Sony :3

SPECTRE will be a slang for cocaine.

 

[Vampirolol]

I bet on the "Take me to church" guy, Hozier. Him or the Hanson, they could really make a masterpiece with the word Spectre and return to glory.

 

[CloudWolf]

Another Way to Die would've been much better than Skyfall if it didn't have Alicia Keys. Now it's only slightlly worse

Spoiler

I really don't like Skyfall

 

[Stinkles]

One of these days, give us Muse, we need it!

Can't. They're writing the soundtrack for the Highlander reboot.

 

[Zombine]

pls be Radiohead

Mmrmmmrrr mmrrrrrmmrr mm mm mmmm
Mmmmmrm nmmmmrrm a SPAAAEEEeeyah
He's a mrrrrmmrrrrrrmr SPEEE HEEEH KTOR
HE'S A OOOOOOOOOooooyeah

 

[ascii42]

You omit the entire first few lines of the chorus which point to Skyfall being a metophorical end of the world.

What's wrong with a little play on words? Actually really fitting for the Bond series.

 

[privitsan02]

"You know my name" is still my favorite Craig Era song. We'll see

Easily.

Coolest part about The Living Daylights theme was how John Barry worked it into the orchestral soundtrack throughout the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrHRFGi6ULQ


Same with the use of the credits song by The Pretenders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKiCV6CG4Sc

 

[Blader]

was radiohead rumored or something

why is everyone bringing it up

Kind of, bookies suspended betting when someone tried putting 15,000 down on radiohead -- which is either very suspicious from the bookie's view or very stupid for the person betting.

Sam Smith has said several times he's not doing it though.

 

[Toa TAK]

Can't. They're writing the soundtrack for the Highlander reboot.

For real?

They are not the rumored front runner. Never have been. It's always been Ellie Goulding .
