They don't seem to get much love on here, but howabout this one from Faith No More's best album?

Get a Welshman playing Bond and give the gig to Gruff Rhys and the boys.

Portishead and Barry Adamson could both do James Bond themes. Barry Adamson stuff can often drip with James Bond espionage sweat.

Nicole Atkins - The Way It Is is definitely Bond-y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1LsbfHPNrQ
The Last Shadow Puppets - My Mistakes Were Made For You https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cQloro92xA - Surely Alex Turner will have to get a crack at a song before too long (though i imagine in Arctic Monkeys mode not TLSP)

and just because it almost was and should have been instead of Sam Smith... Radiohead - Spectre, conveniently edited over the Spectre title sequence here https://vimeo.com/188651189

I always thought Pulp - This is Hardcore had a kind of Bond vibe to it.

This was written as an alternative bond theme, but I feel this thread is incomplete without it

Just needs Shirley Bassey to sing it, and maybe some strings.
