I like the song 'Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Made?' (by Nina, of Nina & Frederick) in OHMSS.
Another atmospheric John Barry track

I love Live and Let Die which i think is the best, closely followed by Nobody Does It Better. At number 3 for me is : A View To A Kill - Duran Duran I'd have posted this video, from the opening sequence, where 007 gets revealed early on

Thanks Windy it makes a change to see the opening credits rather than the video.
The new theme from forthcoming Bond Movie Spectre is out now.
I think its ok, there has been worse efforts, however I don't think this one will trouble anyone's top 5 Bond themes.
Sam Smith - Writing's On The Wall

I for one cannot believe that this is the only Bond song to get to number 1, it's a sad indictment of the current state of "chart" music. This chap doesn't sing, he whines his way through a backing track.
Worst.Theme.Ever.

This chap doesn't sing, he whines his way through a backing track. Worst.Theme.Ever. Agreed. A number 1 is not the achievement it was when the 7" single was king. I would bet you only need to shift a 10th of the units compared to the charts heyday in order to get a No.1 3 Terrible Bond themes that spring to mind : Die Another Day - Die Another Day - Madonna Casino Royale - You Know My Name - Chris Cornell Quantum Of Solace - Another Way To Die - Jack White & Alicia Keys

Given the current musical styles, and who was selected to sing the song, it wasn't really going to be anything other than what it is.
Within the media, music critics are being polite about it. If they come out against it too strongly, it might not do their own career any good.
But deep down the general consensus is that it is average.

I can see it being somes cup of tea but i didn't think it fitted very well. Still with the Bond job it's hard to be original but relevant. The Quantum of Solace one is crud. I wonder if they appoint an artist or whether they invite entries then pick the best.

I wonder if they appoint an artist or whether they invite entries then pick the best. I agree about QOS Del. I think they pick the flavour of the month, that certainly seems to be the case with most of the Bond songs, with the exception perhaps of the 60's maybe.
It usually works but it can backfire like I think it has this time around, did I mention that I don't like it?
