Posted June 4Jun 4 With one of them appearing in the next survivor... I've decided to create a James Bond singles poll and yes I've included Billie as hers has been the only one (and last one so far) in the 2020's anyway so figured it didn't matter too much here.Am picking Billie too btw but I like the Adele, Jack and Alicia ones a lot also. Madonna and Chris's are fine but for the former a weak moment in her discography and Sam Smith.. nah lol.
June 4Jun 4 Chris Cornell - You Know My NameAdele - SkyfallSam Smith - Writing's On the WallJack White & Alicia Keys - Another Way to DieBillie Eilish - No Time To DieMadonna - Die Another Day'You Know My Name' is a severely underrated banger. My favourite bond theme and one of my favourite songs, full stop.'Skyfall' is excellent. 'Writings On the Wall' gets too much flack, but I think it's actually very clever in that they're duetting with themself. 'Another Way to Die', I don't go back to much but I feel it's also underrated. 'No Time To Die' does what Sam Smith did but less good. 'Die Another Day's is ok, but it's leagues below any of these and most of her own output.
June 4Jun 4 I find most of them fairly mid to be honest but I’d say Adele’s is the clear standout. But like @Tafty , if I was asked to choose one to listen to, I’d probably go with Madonna’s hot mess 😂 Edited June 4Jun 4 by Lee_J11
June 4Jun 4 My knee-jerk reaction was Alicia/Jack but quickly re-listened to my favourites and I think 'Skyfall' has actually held up better, so voted for Adele
June 4Jun 4 Billie's is the best ahead of Skyfall, which is classic Bond theme. Another Way To Die is oddly fun, and I like the rest to some degree bar Writing On The Wall. Yes, I'll take Madonna's squelchy synth melody-lite effort over that one. Lana Del Ray's new one is good too. It is a Bond theme - just not a film theme!
June 4Jun 4 Skyfall. I actually like them all although Billie is weirdly the one I'm least likely to listen to.
June 4Jun 4 Chris Cornell - You Know My Name (2006)- FavouriteMadonna - Die Another Day (2002)Adele - Skyfall (2012)Billie Eilish - No Time To Die (2020)Sam Smith - Writing's On The Wall (2015)Alicia Keys & Jack White - Another Way To Die (2008)For me it would be 'You Know My Name', then 'Die Another Day' which I quite enjoyed still do, then 'Skyfall' by Adele. The other two don't really hold it for me,
June 4Jun 4 Lana's 'First Light' >> all of these, but 'Skyfall' doesn't sound too far out of place for Adele circa 21 and 25, so voted for that.
June 4Jun 4 Chris Cornell is clearly the best. I think Alicia/Jack next which felt poor initially but it clicked with me after seeing the film. Adele, Sam and Billie are all technically good but I find them boring. Let’s get the latest in singer and have them drone on. Madonna’s is clearly bottom of the pile.
June 4Jun 4 As long as the awful billie eilish one doesn't win i don't mind the rest But skyfall for me
June 4Jun 4 Oh yeah, if we were to include 'First Light', I'd probably have it last (I liked it enough to get a week at #40 in my chart, but I don't think I've listened to it since).Maybe I need to give it more of a chance? From memory, it was fairly similar to Billie, so I suspect it would grow to about that level at a push...
June 6Jun 6 I thought Madonna's is gonna be my fave initially but it has aged a bit more than I realised.😆I went for Chris Cornell's. Still fond of that one a lot.
June 6Jun 6 I like all 6 of them! I went for Alicia & Jack just because I knew it wouldn’t be getting much love and I think it’s really underrated.
