By Goldfinger i mean that similarly Bond has now been established and that like Connery he can relax & have more fun with the role.

As far as the plot goes a similar break from Spectre/Quantum would be welcome, before upping the ante in Bond 24 with his Nemesis/Blofeld/MrWhite Returning for a full on Thunderball/OHMSS/YOLT confrontation...

[scaramunga]

The new Goldfrapp single Rocket has shown up on Youtube. I again think they would be a fine choice for Bond 23 due to their diversity and I really think Allison has a great voice.

David Bowie would be another one that I would like to see do the theme too.

Same with Shirley Bassey, just because of the connection it would bring to the series a bit.

I think Morrissey would be fantastic for a Bond movie.

As much as I respect your opinion...DEAR GOD, NO!!!

I feel like being radical so I have a suggestion that I'm pretty sure everyone else but me will hate. It's an artist named Beat Assailant.
Here's a song he's done that pretty much an attempt at a Bond theme song already.

A couple more.

Well, "Hate" is an awfully strong word...

It is. I was always told to dislike, but not to hate.

I like the JOURNEY/Perry suggestion...however, it's about 27 years too late. I love JOURNEY more than anyone else, but they'd have been more appropriate back in the late 70's/early 80's....you know, in their hey-day. In fact, JOURNEY probably would've been most appropriate back in 1979 for MOONRAKER.

I'm not suggesting Journey to be involved at all with the Bond title track, as I've personally stopped caring about the band since Perry's departure. While I'd love to see Perry get back with the band (and it's the only way I'd welcome Journey to the Bond franchise), I'd prefer to just have Perry sing an "Open Arms" type ballad for a Bond title track on his own, without help from Journey (or any other band, really). I think sitting Perry and Arnold down in a studio to hammer out a title track could produce good results, even if the chances of it happening are below 0%.

[JimmyBond]

A band that I've liked for a while and I Just thought of, who I think would do a fairly good Bond theme would be the band Shinedown. While nothing about them really stands out among the crowd, they do have a good sound.

Of course I could always put in my hopefuls...Metallica and Megadeth. Though out of the two I think Megadeth would be a better choice as Megadeth did the theme for "Last Action Hero" and don't seem to be above doing that kind of thing.

[Forward Look]

Corinne Bailey Rae. She's a fresh new face, a new choice, and sounds good.

Leona Lewis could do a good job with a Bond theme. It wouldn't be a LALD rock theme, but more a TSWLM gentle ballad.

God, no! Soulless and character-less and the perfect example of how good vocals do not a good singer make.

If it's anything like that Avatar atrocity, keep her well away from Bond.

There is only one band I feel should have the honour of performing the new bond theme and that act is Muse there music is has the power and drama that the Bond films need

[elizabeth]

I still think Paul McCartney should come back and do another one.

[Guy Haines]

I still think Paul McCartney should come back and do another one.

When I was young and my heart wasn't an open book, I used to think LALD wasn't a real Bond theme. Not so much dislike of the tune as reaction against anyone other than John Barry being involved in the Bond musical sound. Admittedly, I was an intolerant 11 year old at the time!

Now, on reflection, I think it is one of the best in the series.

Not a bad idea at all, elizabeth, getting an old pro like McCartney back to where he once belonged.

So how about Shirley Bassey and Durran Durran

Just saw this guy playing the song live on TV and googled for a studio version. You really should have posted the proper video for the song, as it's most Bondian:

Why not indeed. Also, I rather liked kd lang's performance of the end title for TND. Why not let her have a go at the main theme for Bond 23?

[Sebastian Tombs]

I don't know if her name has come up before, but I've heard some stuff by Beth Rowley and think she may be a viable candidate for a Bond song. Her song "You've Got Me Wrapped Around Your Little Finger" in An Education is to die for.

SIR ELTON JOHN delighted Lady Gaga will do James Bond theme tune

Sir Elton John is delighted his new pal LADY GAGA is recording the next James Bond song and he can't wait to sing with the wacky star.

The Rocket Man, 63, said: "I'm really pleased that Lady Gaga is up for the theme tune. She's fantastic and it would be amazing to do a duet."

Just as long as it's a cover of one of her hits and not his!

- Duet with Elton????? Hmmm............

[sevenil]

Ive posted before this but Paul Buchanan of the Blue Nile would be fab although I would settle for the Depeche Mode sound they deliver these days .
Walking in my shoes was such a Bondin type song imho

[BlackFire]

Lady GaGa should write and perform it.

Ouch. That is fairly dire. Over-produced and under-written. Sorry...

Yea, it's... terrible.
