Nice! I've got a Spotify list as well; it had Surrender rather than the TND theme, but in Canada that song isn't on Spotify anymore. I've also got No Good About Goodbye for QoS, as well as Another Way To Die. Don't love it as a Bond theme but I do love it as a song on my Bond playlist. I actually don't have TWINE or DAD on my playlist at all.
There should be a thread where we can post and discuss our Spotify Bond playlists.

Yes i know, CR on the 5th Place, there's the beautiful Vespers Theme and so on, but most of the score ist too much electronic, i prefer QOS more.
And i like Newmans work on SF
I agree with the opposite of these statements.
I actually agree with this. But only because I fear my theatre had bad sound and deflated the music in favour of Eilish's vocals.
I can’t be the only one, after all, EON rejected “Surrender” in favor of a new song. It’s one of the few decisions I think they got right on that film.
Nah, I think most of my friend group prefers the song we got. I still prefer Surrender though.
But clearly “Surrender” was too good of a song to just discard. So they tacked it on the end. I’m glad they did!
I’m just not beholden to the 60s sound. Even John Barry himself was abandoning it in favor of more contemporary sounds because playing the same sound was just dreadfully boring to him.
I've got a couple of Bond or Bond-related playlists on Spotify:
1. "John Barry - James Bond Soundtracks of the '60s & '70s":

2. "007 Style":

I also live in Canada where (and maybe elsewhere) the only STs available after MR are GE; DAD; CR: the two Newmans; and NTTD - and there's also no LALD. Any idea why this would be so?
I have not listened to Zimmer's soundtrack separately from the film. Just from watching the movie, I think it serves the film well. I like it.
I think it s more or less the same here.
:))
I much prefer 'Surrender', too. It's a great track and I love Lang's performance. It's just one of those songs that never fails to make me feel good by the end. Really good fun.
This. QOS was surprisingly decent as it drew on some local flavour and CR had a few moments but his Brosnan soundtracks are all a blur to me.
I always felt like Arnold was trying to sound like Barry but without ever actually approaching the soundtracks like Barry would. Although Hamlisch and Conti both didn't sound typically Barry they still gave us distinctive action themes and slowed down romantic versions of the title theme and they hold their own with Barry's soundtracks.
I bloody hate 'Surrender' too. As great as the 60s title themes were we didn't need lame imitations of them in the nineties.
I presume Jimjambond was complaining about the same thing (the sound), because as far as I can remember, that one edit aside, the film version of the song is pretty much the same as the album version? I'll give it a close listen in my next watch.
without a doubt. Surrender ranks up there for me at the very top. "Backseat Driver" is also fantastic- I wanted to hear something like that in NTTD, just insane brass- but no.
