As said before, she is sugestion for Bond 26 or Bond 27.
As far as British bands are concerned they are the only one out there that could challenge Radiohead when it comes to longevity and varied ever growing discography.
As far as bands are concerned they for me are my preference and are hoping that Boyle gets free reign to bring whoever he chooses as long as it's not Ed Sheeran, this picking the biggest artist of the time isn't for me delivering truly memorable title tunes like of the previous era.
With Adele's popularity and the huge success of Skyfall aside I think a good percentage would say that the late Chris Cornell and Arnold's collaboration YKMN is the standout of the era and the one song of last 4 that truly still stands up with the film and without.
Although I was listening to a few hours back a rather great Blue Note compilation Best of Blue Break Beats, the weekend is my chance to chill and fire up my Rega Planar RP3 turntable and soak up some vinyl goodness.
It's a cracking set of songs.

In amongst some true classics is a cracking cover of Light My Fire from our very own Shirley Bassey. A bit Bondian and just a cracking arrangement with a fantastic reading from Ms Bassey and I thought wouldn't it be rather apt to have Craig's last go out with a full throated epic of tune like this or one of the Dame's title tunes.
When Adele was announced I envisaged or hoped for something more of this ilk, especially when you think of one of her finest Set Fire To The Rain, instead although very
well suited to Kleinman's terrific titles on it's own it's a bit of dirge.
Could we just get an old school up beat classic to make this era go out in style. If Arnold is coming back or even Pemberton the other possibility a collaboration with a great Female or Male vocalist would be truly the way to end DC's tenure.
No more of this chasing the flavour of the month option, just a great vocalist that will produce a song that isn't going to date or look embarrassing in years to come.
Any thoughts on a female or male established and possibly classic rather than recent who could fit the bill of Bassey, Tom Jones, Matt Munroe like who could do this?
Couldn’t agree more on Adele’s song. Definitely overrated. But like SF itself.
Would really like Arctic Monkeys to do a title song, as well. Then again, I've listened to them since they released their first album, so I'm no doubt biased.

If needed, they also could play the henchmen. ;)
Bluegrass too, maybe?
That could work! Missed out on the chance to see her live earlier this summer actually. She played at a festival in my hometown.
Depeche Mode / Dave Gahan
Bat For Lashes / Natasha Khan
then...
Katie Melua
Alicia Keys, ALONE
Sade
Goldfrapp
most important : No more duets
I also think that Alicia Keys, as a solo singer, could have done a superb job with a Bond theme. She has a beautiful voice. It's too bad she'll never get the chance now to prove it. I really liked Another Way to Die musically, but lyrically it was terrible. The only worse lyrics were those in Die Another Day.
Only Shirley Bassey has been able to repeat so far and for good reason. Her rendition of Goldfinger set the bar for everyone who came after her.
* Michael Bublé
* Adam Levine
* Robbie Williams
;)
How about all three at the same time. Sam Smith can crank out the lyrics in about 20 minutes.
Cool idea, though Sam Smith would like to know, if he risks it all, would you break his fall? ;)
Look like she is fan of Skyfall and Spectre..
Having said that I did like the Black Panther soundtrack and lead song a great deal.
Let's bring back Moloko or at least the beautiful voice of Róisín Murphy. She's on top form here, very Bond:
