I'm not sure what it is that I'm missing here, but I'm obviously missing something...

Just a wrong link, right link added and repeated here. Part of  me rather prefers Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie as a ranking of Bond themes to this.

Hmm....indeed an idiosyncratic list (being kind).

I have no argument with Live & Let Die at no 2 but Adele at 1 feels wrong to me. Given that Bassey is so identified with the franchise I'd have thought one of the two earlier songs of hers would have been much higher. And as for Duran Duran coming in higher than her and "From Russia" by Matt Munro I am afraid that this writer has little taste in music and has a completely different understanding of how the songs reflect the style of the films than I have.

Also I suspect an age issue is probably at play, as he appears to favour the later entries.

Finally, Sam Smith? Number 3. Really?
