Unpopular opinion:
None of these rejected second rate Bond songs not appearing in the list on top belong to a top 3 Bond songs ever list. Nice and pleasant periferie to that musical universe. But any TOP 3 ever list is in the list above.
Unless you feel obliged to proof that you have a very special exquisite knowlegable taste in music (which would be kind of weird trying to proof this in context of one of the most popular widely successful cinematic musical franchises).
88% of the list won’t be top 3 - so “being in the top 3” can’t be a prerequisite for being on the list -

Ah, but they’re resetting the Series counter - RTD confirmed that Ncuti’s first series will be called “Series 1”
So we are beginning a new era

I haven’t caught up with the series yet, are there any JW quotes on the album?

Is this true or is it someone playing around on IMDB?
Does anyone have a timestamp?

I very much agree - I don't have tooooo much issue with the songs in LotR, but neither "This Wandering Day" nor "Where The Shadows Lie" land for me at all due to just how modern they sound, especially the latter (though I think the lyrics of "This Wandering Day" are fairly atrocious as well).
QuoteI( think the only Tolkien adaptation that has been able to capture a certain feeling of authenticity to the songs is the BBC Radio Drama, with Stephen Oliver composing some pieces that to me, at least, really feel like songs that would be passed from generation to generation as oral history. And the words are all Tolkien. Some examples:
This I fully agree with too - I love the BBC's LotR adaptation, and Stephen Oliver's music is brilliant.
P.S. I'm glad you enjoyed my "From Dark Dunharrow" edit

Reading the quotes literally, Bear doesn't say the theme "doesn't have its own track", the writer/interviewer does:
QuoteMcCreary adds that he did write an overt “ring theme” specifically for the show, and though it doesn’t have its own track on the soundtrack, “you have already heard it, several times.”
So perhaps this is one of those cases where because "Where The Shadows Lie" isn't titled "THE ONE RING THEME", the interviewer assumes it doesn't have a suite of its own because there doesn't appear to be from first glance?
Because how is that not a Ring theme, honestly...

I'm trying to unravel the lyrics for Sauron/Nampat. If Nampat isn't a verb, as one'd expect, this gets quite a bit weirder.
I don’t know if this helps at all, but when The Hobbit films were coming out, David Salo (linguist for LotR and Hobbit films) had a blog where he shared lots of info about the languages of LotR and how he’d expanded them into neo-orcish, neo-khuzdul etc. for the films.it’s been taken down, but is still available here:

So we’ve had up to & including about track 26 of the OST in the show, which seems to be broadly chronological thus far, except for Nolwa Mahtar. I wonder when that is going to turn up?
-
And the moment when the Nazgûl first leave Minas Morgul, the choir for that section in the film is so loud compared to the CR
-
I was nearly thinking that - I’d assumed it would be just Galadriel reciting the ring-verse or similar at the end of the series. But that’s an brilliant observation Mono!
-
I found that weird too, but it’s in the press release on the one ring.net that Chen posted above, which seems a bit more reputable
-
The most bizarre thing for me is the song. I really like the score on the whole, but “This Wandering Day” is such a dud to me. Anyone else?
-
Is that the Sauron ostinato at 3:23 in The Boat?

I may as well throw a few of my thoughts into the ring.
When the Galadriel and Sauron themes were first released as singles, I was a little disappointed - I hadn’t heard much of Bear’s work before and was expecting something more like Shore’s scores.
Having listened to the full album, though, they’ve both really grown on me. I love that the Galadriel theme is all over the score in many and varied statements. I very much like the Khazad-Dum material too, as well as the Numenor theme.
I think “In the Beginning” is a brilliant piece of music, and can’t wait to hear it in context. Some of those statements of the Galadriel theme are amazing.
I’m less fond so far of the Halbrand and Stranger themes - but I may yet change my mind on them.
-
Awesome work Mono - has anyone worked out which tracks are suites and which are score cues? I’m guessing all the tracks up to “In the Beginning”?
