    Well good on that punter... and myself! =D>

    My favourite film franchise and my favourite act, mashed into perfection.

    I have no words, I'm just going to leave it at that...

    Oh well, Radiohead, don't understand it really. Seems as off as Garbage was in 1999.
    But then Garbage did one great job with The World Is Not Enough.
    So, let's wait and see with what Radiohead will please us.

    Well that bet was way too suspicious to not be backed by some truth.. Anyway i'm happy for this "left field" choice, Radiohead are very talented and i'm sure they can pull off a wonderful rocking theme song.

    I agree. On both points. Am anxious to hear what it sounds like. Fingers crossed.

    If it is Radiohead I wonder what that is saying about the movie Spectre.

    Oh I hope it is this. I know Skyfall was liked in some circles but people like Adele, Jack White & Alicia Keys and Chris Cornell are kinda uninspired choices. Like em or not, Radiohead are certainly not the usual people you'd think to do a Bond song (although they did do a cover of 'Nobody Does it Better' once before).

    I'm all for a different sound for the SPECTRE titles, as long as we avoid DAD's 'music!'

    It's probably saying, "Hey, the title song for Spectre is being performed by Radiohead." I wouldn't read much past that. We've had so-so title songs to better movies and good title songs to so-so movies.

    I disagree about Chris Cornell and Jack White being uninspired choices. I was very pleasantly surprised when they were announced, much like when Garbage was announced for TWINE.

    You are right. It's from the 9th of August, which was 1,5 weeks ago.

    Still, I think someone is earning a lot of money when he betted on Radiohead....

    By the way, after listening some of their newer albums, I think the music is a bit too...alternative..... Very different choice from Adele...if true.

    Agreed. I don't think I'll trust anything until EON actually says.

    I want it to happen but I'm not convinced.

    Radiohead have in their ranks Jonny Greenwood already an acclaimed score composer so any question if they have ability to do this is pretty moot.

    The difference between Garbage and Radiohead is infinite, RH whether certain posters deny it are one of the only bands on the planet that will cause a huge amount of internet traffic once any new release is announced.

    They are one of those bands that might not shift the units like bigger blockbuster acts and never have been amongst the massive sellers but are by far one of the most influential acts of the last 25 years.

    The amount of bands and acts that cite them as an influence is huge and comparing them to a band that had Shirley Manson and the guy that produced Nevermind is hilarious, Garbage had one great debut then went off the boil. Radiohead have a rich back catalogue and guaranteed when they announce their next album is being released the internet and press will lap it up.

    If they are doing the theme and I say if, this might be quite a savvy decision, I can't imagine if they have got the job it was decision made lightly. I always said that the title and the plot deserves something more than just a subtle ballad, this needs something with a sinister edge. One thing is sure if RH do get the job they won't be delivering something that is forgettable, they are fans of Barry and would most likely want to add something to the legacy that isn't forgettable or sound like some funeral march like Garbage or that awful puddle on the floor toss from Sheryl Crowe.

    Also it's not beyond the realm of possibility if Craig has clout on this and I believe he wanted Adele for Skyfall.

    Perfectly sums the situation.

    If it is Radiohead I would expect them to return more to the style of their earlier albums.

    Exactly how I feel too. If true, then Craig won out as he must have been the one who backed them. If this had been left to EON, Lord knows what drippy song would have been stuck on to SP. Given Craig's taste in music I always doubted that Adele was really his choice for SF, and he just went along with it and was being diplomatic about her. But for sure I think he would hurl at the thought of some of the singers that have been mentioned for SP and I would bet fought hard against their selection. We still can only hope he won out on this decision.

    Isn't Mendes a radiohead fan as well?

    Adele was an obvious choice but that doesn't make it a bad one. I wish they'd gone for a few more obvious choices in the 1990s and early 2000s rather than the random dreck we got then.
