I wish they'd used Moby's Bond theme for the opening credits of TOMORROW NEVER DIES.

I personally think it's the second weakest I've heard, with Shaken and Stirred's track of it taking the cake. Surrender should have been used in the maintitles for Tomorrow Never Dies, considering its constant use in the actual score.

I wish Oakenfold's version was used in place of Madonna's piece of garbage

Indeed, although I love Crow's efforts, Lang literally slams all others down with that voice and that song.

Can't agree with your interpretation of Die Another Day though. :)

No need to further that arguement...again. :)

I forgot about OHMSS, the version in the end titles is fabulous. :)

My most favorite rendition was the one used in TLD. It seems slightly dated now, but I guess the 80s synths with orchestra make a great mix.

there's a few other renditions I like, including the LTK renditions.

My favorite are the various ones in TND also. I also like the one in Octopussy leading in the train scene.
