Best Bond Theme Songs

[Spicoli]

With The Release Of Skyfall it might be time to vote on favorite Bond song.


Here is the Poll.

I did not include all movies, I suppose that Chris Cornells Casino Royale theme should be mentioned

[Punishment1o1]

I have not seen all the Bond movies on this list, but I chose "Goldeneye" by Tina Tuner. Goldeneye was the first James Bond movie I saw and I can sit here right now singing the lyrics to the song in my head. Plus, it really is a good song.

Goldfinger hands down. A View to a Kill is great, but the lyrics are a bunch of gibberish. And You Only Live Twice while also great doesn't have that Bond sound with the horns the way Goldfinger does.

Tomorrow Never Dies - Sheryl Crow

[trans22]

Goldeneye or Licence to kill.

[metaridley]

You Only Live Twice, with special mention to The World Is Not Enough

[sukraj]

A view to a Kill

[chcknhwk68]

Voted for "Live And Let Die" only because "You Know My Name" wasn't a choice.

[Belloche]

Nobody Does it Better by Carly Simon is easily my favorite.

And Herb Alpert on the earlier Casino Royale didn't count:

I, however, protest the absence of Diamonds Are Forever--If you're going to put Shirley on the list, do it RIGHT.

Adele for Skyfall was quite an ethereal journey. Bring on the Blu!

[Agent Bond]

For Your Eyes Only

[Crimson King]

Paul McCartney and Wings' "Live and Let Die" theme tune is probably more famous than the actual film itself

also, seems like Dr No's credit sequence music might have inspired The Rolling Stones "Symapthy for The Devil" (the conga part)

Agreed on Goldfinger. I'm glad Skyfall went back to a more tradtional Bond sound.

My fave is "The Living Daylights" by A-Ha. But I chose "View To A Kill".

[Captain Kirk]

I chose Goldeneye. I used to play it all the time when I was kid since it was the first song I ever downloaded. Memories...sweet old 1990's memories.

Runner-up: Live and Let Die. It's just one of those songs that always puts me in a good mood, especially if I hear a live recording of it.

Skyfall is one of the better Bond songs. Probably my favorite since GoldenEye. It helps that the accompanying title sequence is one of the finest in the entire series.
