Personal choice G-Man, personal choice....That said, how can you say that those 3 are the only memorable ones, with songs like Nobody does it better
You got me there. I completely forgot about that one. Mea Culpa.
We have all the time in the world
Good song, but I was referring to songs that played over the opening credits as the "official" movie theme. That was played during the movie as a background song, wasn't it?
the OHMSS instrumental theme
I actually came close to mentioning this as the fourth but I was thinking more along the lines of the "pop" theme songs, not the "orchestral" stuff. In fact, I almost didn't mention "Dr. No," because it was also an instrumental, but figured the twangy "Duane Eddy" style guitar work made it enough of a pop song for inclusion.
Still, you raise good points and I can't really disagree strongly with any of them.
That being said, we're still talking only six good songs out of a twenty-plus film series. Not a great ratio. And certainly not a ratio that suggests Alicia Keys is wildly out of place as a performer for the series.
