  • How anyone can defend this poor excuse for a Bond film score when you lookat what has come before is just beyond me. The composer is clearly not interested in Bond, it's musical heritage, or coming up with a memorable soundtrack. He was offered t…

  • Nice hardware there. I generally listen to blues rock and all it's offshoots (Cream, Stones, Led-Zep, Mayall, any pre-1980 Clapton), some jazz (Mingus, Hancock, M.Davis) and certain conventional classic rock bands like Fleetwood Mac, Dire Straits…

  • If the O.P is inferring that EoN, in their obsession to keep Bond 'relevant', may have lost sight of the essence of the franchise, then yes, I'd agree with this post.

  • Well, I'll be rooting for Denver as I've followed their ups&downs since 2001... but they will have to bring their A-game as far as rush-defense is concerned and I don't think Manning's arm can do a full 4 quarters anymore. I wonder if the fac…
