Here's the intro song for the upcoming James Bond movie: Skyfall.
So, where do my fellow Escapists rank this in terms of other Bond intro songs?

What is your favorite Bond song?

I thoroughly enjoyed this one and I think it's probably near the top.

My favorite Bond song is You Know My Name which barely edges out Live and Let Die.

Near the top for me too...I don't really have a set order of favorite Bond themes, just depends on my musical mood at the time, but my god this new theme (I think) is amazing..Really makes my mind think old-school Bond (Diamonds are Forever as the closest example)..TBH I've been hyped for this movie since it was announced, but this song sent my expectations through the roof.

I like that this song, unlike the the previous songs in the Craig films, mentions the movie title in the song.

True but I still like how You Know My Name is basically introducing the new Bond.

Ok, I really love Adele's back-catalogue but I'm not loving this. It's always good for an artist to branch out but this feels like a big departure. And it's quite slavishly trying to emulate the classic bond themes without adding much that's new or exciting. I don't hate it, but it would be near the bottom for me.

The best? Live and Let Die, Goldeneye or The Living Daylights

Despite definitely not being Adele's biggest fan (Rolling In The Deep and Someone Like You are HUGELY overrated, although this may be tainted with the versions I've had to listen from the kareoke from the pub across the road), I really enjoyed this song. You Know My Name is still my favourite though.

EDIT: And what do you know, as soon as I post this, someone is singing Rolling In The Deep at aforementioned kareoke >.<

Well that's not bad at all. I'm not Adele's biggest fan, but her voice seems right for this. My favourite Bond opening song is Live and Let Die and Goldeneye is a close second along with Diamonds Are Forever.

Not a big fan of Adele at all, but this song was damn good!
