You probably expected a Valentines Day post. But no, it was me, Dio!

I apologize for that XD. That is what happens when a guy who doesn’t watch anime tries to make an anime joke. Anyway, yeah it’s Valentines Day, but my random brain decided to instead rank the theme songs for the 25 James Bond films. I kinda decided to do this after hearing Billie Eilish’s new song for No Time to Die (I was VERY excited for it and I loved it), and I realized that I only knew a few of the themes. So, why not listen to them all lol. Now, I know people will disagree with this list, and that’s fine. Feel free to educate me on this subject. That being said, here you go.
