    “You Know My Name”, “Skyfall”, “The World is Not Enough”, “Writings on the Wall” (mainly for the music). And honestly I wasn’t the biggest fan of “No Time to Die” when I first heard it, but after seeing the movie and listening to it in the context, it’s grown on me. But “You Know My Name” is probably my absolute favorite.

      If not for the heavy staccato voice sampling and synth, Die Another Day would be rather good...
      But I must say, Another way to Die, is perhaps the one I deem worst.
      Live and Let Die is ace, meanwhile, You Only Live Twice too, and Licence to Kill underrated.

      @@captainjakemerica4579 you like today's music; good for you. I haven't heard every note recorded by Oscar Peterson or Charlie Parker, I really enjoy the emotional lift I get from the (surprisingly cynical) pop of the 80s, the Himalayan riffs of the 70s rock monsters, the optimism and experimentation of the 60s rock and psychedelic pioneers, and I look forward to hearing any reasonable interpretation of the classics- Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Chopin, Schubert, the list goes on, so I spend my time listening to timeless greatness...I have neither the time nor patience to listen to today's mass-produced, computer-enhanced cyber sonics. That includes Eilish's disturbing whisper-singing.
      Having noted that, I think Skyfall is one of the best Bond song openers in the entire series, and I was pleasantly surprised by Eilish's entry. Both stand out admirably among the Bond themes, and tower over other contemporary (contemptible) "music."
      My point is it was much more difficult to achieve number one status when the competition was Motown, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, Led Zeppelin, the Bee Gees, ABBA, Genesis, the Police...you get the idea. Recorded music was so much more impressive when Jamerson and Bootsy were laying down the bottom, Yardbirds alumni and a paratrooper named Jimi were taking cues from Django, Les, Roy and Chet and showing where else-and how loud-6 strings could go, Nile, Bernard and George were bringing the funk and tearing the roof off the mothersucker, and microphones made godparents of gospel singers. It's no major feat to have a number one song anymore, especially when these disposable auto-tunes are immediately forgotten after the next shuffle...

    Skyfall is so good because Adele co-wrote it. Adele has a wonderful vocal range and she knows exactly how to use it, her direct involvement in writing Skyfall ensured she could use her voice perfectly. Quite easily the best modern Bond theme.
    Kudos to Eilish on her theme, it's easy to forget that she is 19. The classic Bond singers were all in their late 20s and early 30s. That classic powerful sound we associate with Bond was created by very well established vocalists who had decades to hone their voices. Anyone following Tom Jones, Nancy Sinatra, Shirley Bassey and Tina Turner deserves respect, that's one hell of a line-up to be compared to.
