This won't give me much crdibility, but I like to be honest:
A-Ha's The Living Daylights 
My favourite single of 1987 (together with Prince's If I Was Your Girlfriend).
The other 2 songs from that OST, from The Pretenders, were good too. My favourite Bond movie, and now my credibility is TOTALLY gone  .
Should've said: Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey, Sean Connery being the only true James Bond etc. etc. Then I would've been cool  .
I'd better go back to bed ...

I've gone for 'Live & Let Die', as its one of the few I vaguely remember (was it Duran Duran?)
To be honest, I really don't think much of the James Bond franchise at all, and couldn't tell you who sung the themes to most of them...and frankly won't lose any sleep over it.....
I have come to the conclusion that somewhere along the line, I had a complete James Bond & Star Wars by-pass!

I think that the best Bond theme tune was 'OHMSS'- a really great tune with a brilliant riff. I also happen to think that was the best Bond film of all time, period.
I don't think there was a theme tune that was really good since 'All Time High' though, from 'Octopussy' (my 2nd fave).

I might vote for Sheena Easton if the poll was about something completely different (ie NON music related)

i voted view to a kill...as the durans are on of my favourite bands (an i cursing now?) as A-ha is one too...but, the living daylights is not mentioned.
i had to struggle with my mind, because live and let die is a nice bond song too

Gotta be 'live & let die' - pure drama, pure power (also IMO the best Bond film, too).
Macca played this on Saturday at Glastonbury, and you just knew there were going to be a huge amount of pyrotechnics involved - he did not disappoint! This is probably an unfashionable opinion, but I have to say for a guy in his 60's (I think), he blew Glastonbury away - mind you, with a set comprising of 90% late Beatles material, how could he lose??

HI, THIS IS CÉSAR INCA.
As much as i love the Shirley Bassey song, I voted for 'Live and Let Die'. In my mid 80s days, I loved Duran Duran's 'View to a Kill' and A-Ha's 'The Living Daylights'.
Regards.

I also love Diamonds Are Forever but all the bond themes from the 60`s and 70`s were great.

Shirley Bassey fans are also taken care of on the Propellerheads' "History Repeating"...
Basically, any fans of James Bond should check them out.

Live and let Die.
The last couple of Bond films have had weak theme tunes IMHO.
