The name's Bond. James Bond. Skyfall

How is it a great song?

Nobody does it better - Live & Let die - For Your Eyes Only to name a few, are good themes. Skyfall is not.

They're good Bond theme songs, I'd also argue that Skyfall fits into the same category. I'd probably go as far as to say it's one of the only decent Bond themes going back to A-Ha with The Living Daylights. Powerful, good range from the singer and even ties in to the film itself in some places - definitely on the better side of recent Bond songs.
 
Just watched the Blu Ray with my grandparents (:D) I enjoyed it but there were a few parts I found to be bad taste:

The DB5 getting destroyed and the jab at exploding pens being old fashioned.

Other than that I thought it was pretty decent, not my favourite Bond movie but not my least either.

Don't forget Moonraker, that was a great tune.

Skyfall is only a good song because she sings it well. The melody is boring and generic - I was hoping they'd do something original.
