I don't know about you guys, but I've always felt that Radiohead should do a Bond theme. I whipped this up by chopping up a live version of "Big Boots" and setting it to the opening titles to the 19th Bond film, "The World Is Not Enough." I hope you guys like it.

Nice work, coco1997. Good call. Radiohead and Coldplay would be world-beating choices - hopefully US radio would play it and the song would have airplay and be a hit.

Perhaps Radiohead thinks so as well...

I'd definitely pick Radiohead over Coldplay. The latter lacks the angry and experimental edge that the former is pretty much known for.

I agree completely coco. Radiohead would be a great pick. Very

If that's in your power, ACE, then please do. :D

I don't know... this one just didn't grab me.

And in any event, if it's not some (usually) nonsense pop single or a half-assed attempt at a decent rock song by someone[s] who is 'in' with the MTV crowd, it won't get radio airplay in the US.
