Radiohead accomplished the nigh impossible earlier this year when I finally put a sound to their name and they became my least favorite band.

I was in public hearing spotify or pandora and kept hearing the caterwauling.

Whatever happened to Radiohead? they were pretty popular 20 years ago. James Bond should only have a female singing the theme song anyway.

I tend to agree to this.

Although, I do like ‘Live and Let Die.’

My favorite bad.
Best band on the planet.
Can’t wait for them to release their new album. Whenever that is.

There. I said it.

I forgot about “Live and Let Die”, that was a pretty good theme song.

Like you, I don’t understand the appeal of Radiohead.

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence is my favourite song that was made for a movie that didn't end up with the movie. Gene Pitney had a hit from it anyway.

Meh. Sounds Bond-ish, but can barely hear the muddled vocals. The Sam Smith winning song sucks too. Depressing and slow. Surprising after Adele’s striking “Skyfall.”

Chris Cornell clearly best male vocalist for Bond songs and then Paul M Live and let die.

Radiohead was the most meteoric band ever and, for me, peaked in 1998 with OK Computer. How can you beat that if you are an alternative band?

Bravo for them to follow their own path instead of kranking out more hits.

Nancy Sinatras You only Live Twice my fav of all bond songs.

I absolutely slept through the last two Bond films.I started playing this song and my girlfriend unaware of what I was reading and why I hit the play button said “ Sounds like James Bond music”

I’m on the fence with that one myself. I don’t know.
