Favorite James Bond Theme Song

I'm going with Duran Duran - A View To A Kill.

About the only good thing in that movie.

Probably Live and Let Die.

Nobody Does it Better, or Live and Let Die. Though I have a soft spot for Goldfinger.

If the GNR version of Live and Let Die is disallowed, I have to go with Goldfinnnngaaa or Thunderball.

Live and Let Die for me.

A View to a Kill a close second, although it is the only song to reach #1 in the charts, not even Madonna could pull that.

From "Tomorrow Never Dies", the exit music is "Surrender" by K.D. Lang. If anything, it has to be a close second (if not tied for First Place) to Shirley Bassey's "Goldfinger".

Rolling Stone's List

1. Live and Let Die - McCartney
2. Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey
3. Nobody Does it Better - Carly Simon
4. You Only Live Twice - Nancy Sinatra
5. Diamonds are Forever - Shirley Bassey (again)
6. View to a Kill - Duran Duran
7. Die Another Day - Madonna
8. From Russia With Love - Matt Monro (who?)
9. We Have All the Time in the World - Louis Armstrong
10. Thunderball - Tom Jones

Hey now, don't be dissin' the English Tony Bennett.

Rolling Stone makes the worst lists. That one is OK though.

Except Madonna's on there. That was the worst theme song of them all. Literally any other song could've been substituted on that list, including "Another Way To Die" (the second-worst Bond theme). Personally, I'd go with "Goldeneye" or "Skyfall."

1. Live and Let Die
2. Nobody Does it Better
3. Goldfinger
4. View to a Kill
5. Diamonds are Forever
6. You Only Live Twice

After that, I don't think it matters.

Goldfinger for me. Classic.

"The Living Daylights" by a-Ha.

It's not unusual.

LOL! Looks like I'm the only one (so far) who puts You Only Live Twice in the #1 slot.

Skyfall is pretty darn good.

Straight razor at :36
