Of the ones I remember hearing (I haven't seen all the movies), Goldfinger.
Favorite James Bond Theme Song
- Thread starter heybatter
- Start date
My favorite is from You Only Live Twice.
The most striking is Goldfinger's theme. Kind of gets on my nerves though.
Edit:
Not anymore!
Edit #2:
Ok, so I heard the Madonna song. I have to agree that it really doesn't work in the Bond setting. Stand alone, I guess it's ok if you're into that kind of thing. Also, the Sheryl Crow song did not float my boat. She doesn't have the type of voice for a Bond opener.

Goldfinger and Skyfall tie in my book. Followed by Live and Let Die.
I have seen all the James Bond films many times but the only theme song that sticks in my head is Goldfinger.
1) On Her Majesty's Secret Service instrumental
2) Live And Let Die
3) A View To A Kill
4) Diamonds Are Forever
5) You Only Live Twice
2) Live And Let Die
3) A View To A Kill
4) Diamonds Are Forever
5) You Only Live Twice

Another for Goldfinger followed by Diamonds Are Forever. I think Shirley Bassey just nailed it with those two.
For fans of the music from the early movies, there is a wonderful album I've been enjoying lately called Basie Meets Bond where Count Basie and his orchestra give their classic swing treatment to music from the first four bond films.

Nobody Does it Better
For Your Eyes Only
Live andLet Die
If You Asked Me To (Patti LaBelle closing credits song on License to Kill, the only good thing about that film)

That said, "You Only Live Twice" has the one-two punch of great music and pretty good lyrics. Not a great movie, but a classic tune.
1. Nobody Does it Better
2. Live and Let Die
3. For Your Eyes Only

It seems we have a favorite. ...Paul's song rules
Skyfall but mainly because it's a Daniel Craig film and he's the best Bond ever.
Goldfinger is number two.
Die Another Day was pretty good, but I'd say it's a distant third.

YMMV applies here as well.
My favorite has always been the James Bond Theme
No. He's got the lead and knows how to swing it.
I'm going Goldfinger- Jimmy Page on guitar, I believe.
I like Daniel as all time favorite, followed by Moore. ...but not the song.
Sums it.up perfectly for me.
I wouldn't call Daniel Craig the best Bond ever. I've still got to give that to Connery by a hair. That being said, Daniel Craig is exactly what the franchise needed (along with the change of tone) and If I had grown up watching Craig instead of Connery I'd probably prefer him by a tiny bit.
I think Adele was a good modern choice to sing a bond theme. She has a nice voice for it.

All of Burly Chassis' tracks are great.
I agree.
