What Bond track are you listening to?

I still think one is a lot better than typically credited. I'm thinking of the strain of thought saying Lang's tune should've been the title one. I like Crow as a singer-songwriter generally, and that transfers over to her "Tomorrow Never Dies."

Honestly, I don't care much for either song, and I think Arnold's TND score is the most overrated in Bondom.

It is impossible to overrate Barry, and I suppose somewhat difficult to overrate any of the one-timers. TND and CR seem to be Arnold's most praised. I'd probably take TND over CR but for bombastic Bond I think he did it better in DAD. I think overall QOS is his best work.

Yes to everything above.

One of the greatest themes ever concocted.

IMO, Knight's voice is too rough for a Bond track. It just doesn't fit. Not a terrible song, though.

It sounds like she says "Licence to catch" in places?

Just listened to GF and YOLT on vinyl. The latter is still one of my favorites.

Oddly enough, I've been a vinyl collector for 10+ years and a Bond fan for 20 + and yet never really pursued collecting them all on vinyl. These are the only two in my collection. Perhaps that will be my next pursuit!

On loop in my little brain.

I'm not a huge David Arnold fan, but I must say that "Crawl, End Crawl" at the end of QoS is one of that film's few undoubted highlights. How ironic then that "Another Way to Die" is far and away the worst Bond title track. The musical bookends could not be farther apart in terms of quality.

That's a marvelous track, alright. In fact, TLD's score in general is top shelf.

I think it is my favourite end credits of the whole series.

Mine, too, although I also like "If You Asked Me To" from LTK.
