Can anyone think of any? I think this would have made an ideal Bond theme.
Songs that should have been/would still make a 007 James Bond movie theme?

Does Radioheads "Spectre" count, as they did write it as a Bond theme (allegedly)?
Man of Honour
Came in here to post the exact same thing. I can't believe that this was made without that in mind. The end chord alone is a bit of a smoking gun.Muse - Supremacy (Official Video)

Good timing, I was listening to this the other day thinking it would make a good Bond theme:

Seven Nation Army - it even sounds like a decent Bond title.
It was. That was their submission for Spectre.
Sam Smith was chosen. Naturally.
On Radiohead, Man of War is also a bit Bondy.

If it not this one Raye is destined to sing a bond track for sure. Absolutely incredible talent.
I didn't claim that this was intended as a Bond song because, while I thought I remembered so, I wasn't sure enough. But this well timed article (specifically the list at the end) does seem to confirm:Muse - Supremacy (Official Video)

Lana Del Rey says she wrote a Bond theme, but it was turned down
The star says wrote a song for Daniel Craig's fourth Bond film, Spectre, only to have it rejected.
www.bbc.co.uk
I see that in most cases, the not-used song was just the same song delivered by a different artist. Only a few created a completely different song only to have it rejected.
I wonder whether these songs are available to listen to? I don't have the time to check them currently.

This.

Picture this by the Beastie Boys and Sly by Massive Attack. Both have that kinda mysterious 60s style going on, but updated for modern 90s-present Bond. For Massive Attack, I could only find the 5-minute album version, but it would need to be the single version, pretty much the same song, just shortened enough to 3ish minutes for it to be a opening theme song.
