Vitally Important AIBU: Best Bond Themes

29 replies

CaveMum · 15/01/2020 17:03

BBC have published this article on the best Bond themes (www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51118593 ). Their top 5:

  1. Goldfinger
  2. We Have All the Time in the World (OHMSS)
  3. Live and Let Die
  4. Diamonds are Forever
  5. Nobody Does it Better (TSWLM)

Are they right? Now for me View to a Kill and You Know My Name (Casino Royale) deserve to be in there, so I think we’ll have to bump Diamonds Are Forever and Live and Let Die.

AIBU?

Live and let die!!!

MoltoAgitato · 15/01/2020 17:07

The World is Not Enough and Skyfall are two classics that should be top 5.

Cocolapew · 15/01/2020 17:07

Rita Coolidge in the worse ones? Pah! She's great.

fartingsparkles · 15/01/2020 17:09

Nobody Does It Better will always be my favourite. Loved it as soon as I heard it. But Live and Let Die is fab too.

Notmybloodymonkeys · 15/01/2020 17:10

A View to a Kill every time.

Ageing Durannie here. Wink

Thatmustbemyname · 15/01/2020 17:11

We have all the time in the world shouldn't be there. Bump the others up, and Skyfall becomes number 5.

berlinbabylon · 15/01/2020 17:13

I agree with a few above, Diamonds are Forever, Skyfall, Nobody does it better, A view to a kill, Live and Let Die. And Goldeneye.

I like the ones that have something of the original Bond theme going through them, and which have a really strong vocalist.

wowfudge · 15/01/2020 17:15

We have all the time in the world is one song used as a Bond theme which I don't automatically associate with Bond.

PrincessHoneysuckle · 15/01/2020 17:15

Nobody does it better

berlinbabylon · 15/01/2020 17:17

I find We have all the time in the world quite boring. The film was good, but not the theme.

Rainbowx · 15/01/2020 17:17

Skyfall
live and let die

BovaryX · 15/01/2020 17:18

Diamonds are Forever
You only live twice

WarmSausageTea · 15/01/2020 17:22

Licence to Kill because Gladys Knight is all kinds of fabulous. Ditto The World Is Not Enough and Garbage/Shirley Manson. I like Skyfall and Adele, but her breath control on the song drives me mad.

We Have All The Time In The World isn’t my idea of a Bond tune.

Can’t argue with Die Another Day and The Living Daylights.

SlightlyWizened · 15/01/2020 17:24

I just watched Diamonds are Forever the opening titles on YouTube and wondered who those naked women were. What were their stories. Were they 'exotic dancers'?

Buster72 · 15/01/2020 17:24

The living daylights

skyfall - I like to entertain the family by doing a rendition of this at christmas in the style of a Vic Reeves club singer Grin

SlightlyWizened · 15/01/2020 17:29

Ok now I've listened to most of Skyfall. Couldn't finish because It's Tripe!
Adele grrrrrrr

Stop getting bond wrong

wheelemin · 15/01/2020 17:47

It has to be You Only Live Twice. Amazing strings. Surprised its only been mentioned once.

SeigneurLapindeGrantham · 15/01/2020 17:49

Nobody does it better.

Elphame · 15/01/2020 17:49

Can't believe "The World is Not Enough" is not on that list

ALongHardWinter · 15/01/2020 17:51

The living daylights -A-Ha.
A view to a kill - Duran Duran.
