Hah! It's totally Goldfinger. Now, I gotta rack my brain for a second favourite.

There is now no way that I will be able to think of any song other than "Goldfinger" for the next several days. I'll have to get back to you.

Ok, "We Have All the Time in the World" is pretty great too. THANK YOU WIKIPEDIA.

I'm kind of amazed they never contacted Elvis to a Bond theme. or Sinatra. Maybe Springsteen will get his chance.

Totally A View to a Kill. Grace Jones is the Duran to my Duran.

Least favourite is the Chris Cornell effort, fwiw.

Tossup between Thunderball "...and he FIGHTS... like THU-U-UNDER-BAA-AA-AAL!" and A View to a Kill. Depends on what I'm drinking, I guess.

My faves in order:

1. "Nobody Does It Better"
2. "Live and Let Die"
3. "Goldfinger"
4. "A View To A Kill"
5. "Thunderball"
6. "You Only Live Twice"

Also, Nobody Does it Better, from The Spy Who Loved Me.

A compilation of Bond themes was probably the first CD I ever bought.

Oh, wait a minute, "For Your Eyes Only" was pretty good.

I may have to get back to you.

Totes "Live & Let Die." Both the McCartney original and the G'n'R cover are always welcome on my stereo. "GoldenEye" is a solid third place, with Tina Turner doing a decent Shirley Bassey (though Bassey was certainly available and would have been awesome).

I like The World is Not Enough.

The grammar mistake in Live and Let Die just makes me cringe too much to like that song.

You only live twice, or so it seems. One life for yourself, and one for your dreams.

Runner-up is a toss-up between the 80s giants behind View to a Kill and Living Daylights.

1. Diamonds Are Forever
2. Goldfinger
3. Live and Let Die
4. Nobody Does It Better
5. The World Is Not Enough
and it wasn't a movie them, but I actually really liked the theme song to the Bond videogame "Everything or Nothing," sung by Mya.

The grammar mistake in Live and Let Die just makes me cringe too much to like that song.

Word!

I also have to throw my lot in with the Durans. Especially because of the video with its cassette-player Walkman and "Bon. Simon Le Bon." That's good cheese.

Another vote for Live and Let Die. For Your Eyes Only is also pretty great. I'm pretty much in denial about Bond films post Moore (though I have to admit the new Bourne err Bond ones are pretty great)

Live and Let Die here.

Herb Alpert's "Casino Royale" was my original favorite followed by "Live and Let Die". "You Only Live Twice" is also up there. "Goldfinger" never did much for me.

My favorite overall soundtrack is "OHMSS" followed by "LALD" and " Thunderball".

Ha! I just watched Casino Royale for the first time last night! When that song came on I blurted out "fucking awesome." So yeah, that's my fave.

Definitely "A View To A Kill," though "Live & Let Die" ranks right up there, too.

Oh come on, the worst one has. to. be. that piece of Madonna dreck, hands down.

I like "The World Is Not Enough". "A View To A Kill" is close.

Search youtube for Johnny Cash - Thunderball.

definitely "Nobody Does it Better" with "View to a Kill" a close second.

Anything that is not Live & Let Die. That is enough to make me get up and leave the room.

view to a kill... it's so HOT

Btw, the infamous grammar lyric is "... but if this ever changing world in which we're living makes you give in and cry ..." His enunciation is better on live versions.

Yeah, "View to a Kill" here. God, I'm still stuck in the 1980s. I love boys who look like girls.

My favorite James Bond song is not a James Bond song, I just realized. I was going to say Bassey's "History Repeating" but not! I iz wrongo! No is Bond song!

(I'm not much of a fan of the films... can you tell?)

Another vote for "Live and Let Die" over here.

I heard a story about how Weird Al Yankovic was going to do a parody of that song called "Chicken Pot Pie". Although he'd be protected by fair use, he makes a point of asking permission from the original artist before releasing it (Coolio allegedly notwithstanding). Paul McCartney said it would be okay as long as he changed the lyrics to "Veggie Pot Pie". Al had the good sense to know that chickens are funnier than vegetables, so he scrapped the parody.

The Living Daylights is the only Bond film that has three songs--one by a-ha, and two by The Pretenders. "If There Was a Man," one of the Pretenders songs (it's in the closing credits), has a great combination of Chrissie Hynde's vocals and John Barry's arrangement.

"Surrender," the song by k. d. lang that plays over the closing credits of Tomorrow Never Dies, is also a favorite, if only because she belts the vocals, Shirley Bassey-style.

And there's also Tina Turner's performance of "Goldeneye."

"You Only Live Twice" is my favourite.

'We Have All The Time in the World.'

"View to a Kill". Always reminds me of my smoking hot babysitter.

I hate "You Know My Name" so much. I guess my least favorite is actually "A View to a Kill", even though I love a little Duran Duran.

I am a huge Bondophile and I have the compilation CDs and everything, and I've mentioned this before, but I really love Anthony Newley's demo version of "Goldfinger", even though Shirley Bassey did such a great version for the film. He just adds a certain fey iciness to the song that her belting can't communicate.

"The World is not Enough" is good (I like Garbage), "Live and Let Die" is probably the best hard rock theme, "From Russia With Love" is so definitive, "Thunderball" is some kind of apotheosis of the Bond song, "Diamonds Are Forever" is a real earworm, "The Spy Who Loved Me" is a strange twist on the usual perspective, even "Moonraker" is fun in its own way.

I feel "The Man with the Golden Gun" should have been slowed down a lot. It's just too frantic. "For Your Eyes Only" is sort of forgettable. "All Time High" (Octopussy, which they couldn't use for a song title, I guess) is of course a hit in its own right, but it just doesn't feel very Bondian to me.

"The Living Daylights" is just meh; I'd have preferred the Pretenders doing the song. ("Take On Me" could actually make a halfway decent Bond song with another verse and some real lyrics ...) "License to Kill" was pretty forgettable too.

"Goldeneye" was a welcome return to classic form. "Tomorrow Never Dies" wasn't bad but the k.d. lang "Surrender" was much, much better and probably one of my favorites. "Die Another Day" was a bit odd but not really bad (I like Madonna generally).

"You Know My Name" is sort of a wink at the audience that they're introducing a new actor, the same way that George Lazenby winked "This never happened to the other fella" in the opening of his movie (and other clues were placed to remind people this was the real Bond, not the comedy Casino Royale). I guess it's a serviceable theme in its own way but it just seemed odd to sing from Bond's interior perspective that way.

Enough opinions for everyone?
