Like the movie from whence it came, Madonna's song is terrible. Not very catchy at all, and she name-drops Sigmund Freud (???) for some reason. Those other two linked in the OP don't sound very Bond-ish either, but at least they're not an omnishambles.

EDIT: Haven't heard the Billie Eilish one yet, but I doubt it can be as bad as the Madonna one.

Friendly reminder that, like Spectre, Quantum of Solace had a far superior title song that was rejected.

Who's hating on Moonraker and Tomorrow Never Dies?

Although Surrender is a better tune than TMD but was demoted to end credits when it was originally supposed to be the main title song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRc4vrap5Ec

I like the Sheryl Crow song, but Surrender wouldve been a top 5 Bond song and Ill never forgive them for not picking it.

Same. Lyrically it fits more with the story. The Crow version fits for Paris Carver, but she's hardly in the movie

I hated this song because it was emblematic of the overall direction of the movie from a sleek supply thriller to a Proto Jason Bourne action movie.

It's Billie Eilish. Sexually frustrated middle-aged men hate her. The song is fine.

Another Way to Die is just awful. Easily the worst. It sounds like an inept karaoke version of itself.

No Time To Die isn't a bad song. I do feel like it never really "kicked in" or finished big like it should have done, but it's still mid-tier for Bond themes IMO.

Writing's On the Wall is aggressively annoying to listen to, and the way that Sam Smith bragged about only spending half an hour writing and recording it made me like both the song and him even less.

Agreed. It shouldve been bombastic at the end, but it never gets there.

Die Another Day doesn't even sound like it was entirely finished. that song is like an audio engineer worked on it for like 20 minutes and then accidentally hit a button to send it to mgm early

its not my least favorite but its definitely the weirdest
