I'm staggered how anybody could think that dismal Sam Smith song which does not even utilize the title of the film was better than Radiohead making a deliberately commercial (for them) track for the Bond theme. Then again the same musical buffoons also rejected Lana Del Rey's submission "24" www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNOGpX-P6fo ; and Duran Duran's "What Are The Chances" www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwrr-45n8kg for the same theme. Certainly all three are better than that dreadful sub-Adele Sam Smith track. |

Its really good best song they have done in years, I hope this is a clue to the new album that they are returning to a more 'Ok Computer' sound.

I do like the Radiohead song, but I can totally see why they didn't use it in the film (well, not as the main theme anyway, I don't know whether the band were offered a lesser appearance and turned it down). The Broccolis always want a bankable star.

Amazing piece of work. Forever to be a lost classic in terms of Bond themes.

good sign for things to come for sure after the disappointing King of Limbs

Don't sound James Bond enough to me but anything is better than Sam Smith

Can't stand Radiohead. But that would have been a perfectly cromulent Bond theme. Ignore comparing it to Sam Smith, I've just flushed something that sounded better than him. It would be better than e.g. White/Keys or many of the Bassey ones.

Going marginally off topic, but challenging the James Bond franchise for the musical cloth eared idiots award of 2015 (it would make a great idea for someone with a bit of time to do research along these lines with loads of other examples):
This was in the running for the 2015 John Lewis Xmas Advert and was unbelievably rejected for that Swedish nobody covering an Oasis ballad:
