Title: Best and Worst James Bond Theme Songs?
Post by: Angry Ewok on May 9, 2006, 01:03 AM

I was listening to my folder of James Bond themes, on iTunes, and decided to make a thread on the subject. Alot of us here are James Bond fans, I would imagine... so I'm curious to know where everyone else stands when it comes to their favorite and least favorite Bond theme songs...

My picks for the top 3 best Bond themes :

1. Live and Let Die / Paul McCartney & Wings (1973)
2. View To A Kill / Duran Duran (1985)
3. Goldfinger / Shirley Bassey (1964)

My picks for the top 3 worst Bond themes :

1. Die Another Day / Madonna (2002)
2. Tomorrow Never Dies / Sheryl Crow (1997)
3. The Man With The Golden Gun / Lulu (1974)

"Live and Let Die" is probably the best, IMO, although "For Your Eyes Only" and "View to a Kill" are sentimental favorites for me as well. 

I'm not Bond-savvy enough to choose the worst theme(s).
