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 ...

As a big fan of 60s/70s JB movies and themes, I'm surprised that Tom Jones' Thunderball has received so little support. Live and Let Die is fantastic, as are any tracks by Shirley Bassey. But, in terms of power, majesty, and (mello)drama (three crucial elements of a JB theme), Thunderball can't be beat. TJ has one of the most booming voices in pop history while the massive, cannoning timpani just knock down the walls of Jericho on this one. Delicious fun.

They should have used Alice Cooper's song, that might have got my vote above Live And Let Die.

I like Paul McCartney but this time he loses to "OHMSS" and the song 'We have all the time in the world' - Louis Armstrong (the jazzman not the astronaut Neil ) singing it is AMAZING! Probably the pop/romantic song that I enjoy most.

I voted for "Live And Let Die" (I even enjoyed the cover by Guns'n'Roses) with Shirley Bassey coming in at number two.

"You Only Live Twice" - a hauntingly beautiful, eerie song with a
wonderful vocal from Nancy Sinatra (a true sixties icon). Very close
second: the wonderful instrumental theme to "On Her Majesty's Secret
Service".

Got to be Carly Simon's Nobody Does it Better from The Spy Who Loved Me - listen to it for the awesome drum production (pure 70s impact!) and of course Radiohead do a killer version of this.

Having said that all the themes up to that there Sheena Easton one were alright weren't they? It was only with the Durannies that things started to go downhil, though the one Sheryl Crow did was okay.

Ended up voting for Sheena Easton.Unhappy

 

 

Yeah, im not a massive Bond fan, but 'We have all the time in the World' is a great track. On a more proggish note, dont you think Pink Floyd's 'Lucifer Sam' would make a great Bond theme?

Weird, coz I love James Bond, I actually thought (even though Lazenby was lousy) that 'On her majesty's secret service' was one of the better movies, it is certainly my fave title song.

I had to choose between 'Live and Let Die' and 'Licence to Kill' but I voted for Mr. McCartney.

Sadly my favourite 'Tomorrow Never Dies' isn't on the list...
