Subject: 007 - The Songs of James Bond

Written By: whistledog on 03/06/06 at 8:51 pm

NOTE:  Billy Strange had a hit with the James Bond Theme in 1964, but it did not appear in a Bond film, thus is not included in the poll.  Also, the Guns N' Roses version of "Live and Let Die" is disqualified for the same reason

Does the John Barry instrumental "Goldfinger" qualify? I love it, but somehow, when the words got added, it became a rather bad little number. Anyway, if so, it'd be in contention with me.

Of the ones listed, my votes went to:
*The Living Daylights
*Diamonds Are Forever
*Casino Royale

Honorable mentions: A View to a Kill, The Look of Love

I never thought to include it  :-[

I was going to put in the "other" option, but I figured if I did that, some folks would probably vote for Guns N' Roses' Live and Let Die ;D

I picked Nobody Does it Better and All Time High because they are great examples of Bond themes that are true to that original 60's styled theme :)

As well, I picked Living Daylights, mainly because it still remains my favourite Bond film 8)

Let's see...I really like 3 songs from James Bond movies. The rest are okay.

1) Paul McCartney and the Wings- Live and Let Die
2) Sheena Easton- For Your Eyes Only
3) Carly Simon- Nobody Does it Better

As for the "runner-ups" I'd say Tom Jones, "Thunderball" and Shirley Bassey "Goldfinger."

"You Only Live Twice" by Nancy Sinatra

Followed by "Live And Let Die" and "A View To A Kill"

I don't think any of the others compares to "Goldfinger"

The same for me (in the same order) however my runner-ups would be Goldfinger, A View to a Kill and The Look of Love.
