You know my name, it's Son, Black Hole Son.

What?

Vocalist of Soundgarden. I liked their song for Avengers much better, though.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Goldfinger, Live and Let Die, and You Know My Name.
What I speak out of my mouth is the truth.  It burns like fire.

Skyfall's grown on me a lot.  One of my favourite Bond themes now.

Though, as someone pointed out, only a girl from Norwood could make Skyfall rhyme with crumble :lol:
Let's bomb Russia!

The Minsky Moment

Goldfinger for sheer brassiness and for defining the very idea of a Bond theme song
You Only Live Twice for integrating perfectly with the action.
Goldeneye because it's freakin' Tina Turner.

"You Only Live Twice" is my favorite (probably my favorite Bond film as well)

Followed by "Goldfinger" and "Goldeneye".
