So the theme from SKYFALL is all over the radio right now; what are some of your favorite (and least favorite) James Bond songs?

My top 5:
GOLDENEYE - Tina Turner
Small | Large


THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH - Garbage
Small | Large


GOLDFINGER - Shirley Bassey
Small | Large


LIVE AND LET DIE - Paul McCartney
Small | Large


"Nobody Does It Better" (THE SPY WHO LOVED ME) - Carly Simon
Small | Large



the worst?  DIE ANOTHER DAY, unequivocally

Probably Live And Let Die. Macca's best post-'fab four' tune IMO. Goldfinger is hefty as well.

Also, although I like Garbage, them doing a Bond theme was somehow wrong to me? just seemed not quite right...dunno why.

Garbage was a .... different choice, but I like it.   Smile 
The one that always struck me as not quite right was Chris Cornell's song for CASINO ROYALE.  Didn't sound Bond-like.

I don;t like McCartney or Wings, but Live and Let Die is my favorite.  I also really like Goldfinger, just for its total Bond-ness cool.

Mid-90's Portishead hit this same vibe when they were at their best.

That one is just outside of my top 5.  I also like the song kd lang did for TOMORROW NEVER DIES, but it's not the official theme (it played at the end credits, I think.)

Good call, Glory Box has a Bond kind of feel...

Catatonia - 'Godspeed' would've made a great bond theme IMO. Sadly can't find it on youtube, only a live version that doesn't do it justice at all.

Also this track by Broadcast , perhaps...

I like in no particular order For Your Eyes Only,  Spy Who Loved Me , Goldfinger, and Diamonds Are Forever.  I'd like to say "Live And Let Die" however that song kind of just dominates the whole movie and becomes annoying to me after awhile.

I may be the only person alive who digs You Know My Name by Chris Cornell.

Also, the one by Jack White and Alicia Keys sucks IMO.  Bluesad

I dig Live and Let Die.

Also dig this Bond-theme parody by Weird Al.  The bit at the end with his head exploding is a reference to Tom Jones passing out recording his song... BounceGiggle
