I am a huge fan of the James Bond films my favourite is From Russia With Love. I am not too too crazy about the Brosnan Bond , Though. |

"On Her Majesty's Secret Service"- The Propellerheads' version is so wonderfully rocking and majestic that you must hear it. Now. Go and get it, really. I'll wait right here until you get back. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

Where's "Goldeneye"?!! Tina Turner's perfomance on that track captured the essence of Bond perfectly. Also, perhaps not strictly a theme tune, but Louis Armstrong's "We have all the time in the world" from "OHMSS" was superb. Ended up voting for Sheena Easton.

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

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

Goldfinger, Shirley bassey is one of the best female vocals ------------- when i sell my life story, maybe i should write it first and do the living later 'cause life is so much cleaner on the page |

Shirley Bassey fans are also taken care of on the Propellerheads' "History Repeating"... Basically, any fans of James Bond should check them out. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

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. |

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?? -------------

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 ------------- Live Long and Prosper... |

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'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! ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

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. ------------- Guigo ~~~~~~ |

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.

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... |
