Another Way to Die is the best Bond song

No question. It’s the best. Going to need a good explanation as to why I’m wrong.

(World is Not Enough a strong contender).

@BlueBellsArePretty

The theme to Casino Royale You Know My Name by Chris Cornell is my fav.
was coming on to say this. Definitely. But A view to a kill a close second. And Diamonds are Forever gets highly commended.
WannabeNun · 24/06/2021 19:23

Utterly wrong, the soundtrack and theme of the Living Daylights is unbeatable.

MaloInAnAppleTree · 24/06/2021 19:27

Die Another Day is underrated, I’d put it comfortably top ten.

Live and Let Die, View to a Kill and Living Daylights top 3, though the last one may be more to do with my feelings for Mr Harket than its objective quality.

Violetroselily · 24/06/2021 19:30

Love a bond theme

Licence to Kill is my absolute fave. Special mentions for Goldeneye, Live and Let Die, Die Another Day and Nobody Does It Better

Changechangychange · 24/06/2021 19:33

View to a Kill
Living Daylights
Goldeneye
The World is not enough
Tomorrow never Dies
Man with the Golden Gun
We have all the time in the world (this would be much higher ranked, but doesn’t feel like a Bond theme to me for whatever reason).
Skyfall
Goldfinger
You only live twice

Wow now I think about it there have been some great bond themes haven’t there?

MadisonAvenue · 24/06/2021 19:35

It’s definitely A View To A Kill.

TitilatedOcelot · 24/06/2021 19:50

Skyfall would have been a lot better without Adele's terrible diction. Maybe she should swap songs with Sheryl.

drpet49 · 24/06/2021 19:57
  1. The world is not enough by Garbage
  2. Nobody does it better by Carly Simon
  3. A view to a kill by Duran Duran
donquixotedelamancha · 24/06/2021 19:59

I thought the Sam Smith one was terrible.

Pretty sure even the Sams Smith's mum think that, not that she'd tell any of them.

Alloftheboys · 24/06/2021 20:10

To my ears it’s two people introducing themselves.
“Wendy Skyfall. Andy Crumbull.”

Alloftheboys · 24/06/2021 20:11

Poop my post didn’t include the quote to explain I meant “Skyfall”

Neron · 24/06/2021 20:16
  1. License to kill - Gladys Knight
  2. Goldeneye - Tina Turner
mewkins · 24/06/2021 20:16

I agree OP. Although I also love Live and let die and Nobody does it better.

CliftonGreenYork · 24/06/2021 20:26

Nobody Does it Better. The Living Daylights is one of my least favourites and I am a huge AHa fa.

LifeIsAMotorway · 24/06/2021 20:33

Sam Smith’s bond song is rubbish. He sings like he’s been smothered. Billie Eilish is fine - very forgettable though. Maybe I’m getting old and Jack White/ Alisha Keys hit my last go at youth!

Nobody’s mentioned Tom Jones (or did I miss it?). I find of like the vibe but it’s a dreadful song.

Naw because it's You Know My Name. Followed by Nobody Does It Better.

It's a hill on which I will die

MorganKitten · 24/06/2021 20:40

@ButYouJustPointedToAIIOfMe

Why does everyone hate Madge though? I love Die another Day but it appears bottom of every Bond ranking.
It’s very over produced, also her cameo in the film is cringe.

Her acting was very poor in the at Bond film, to be fair.
PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 24/06/2021 20:43

Are we counting the theme from Dr No or not? Because I'd have that top.

I like ones for different reasons though. Goldfinger for Shirley Bassey and that brass motif, Nobody Does it Better for how easily they slip the title in, An All Time High, because it's just so 80s...

They're all pretty good to be honest (although have gone a bit downhill recently, sorry Adele and Sam Smith fans).

Pedalpushers · 24/06/2021 20:43

There were loads of good ones until you got to the Daniel Craig films, and then they are all rubbish.

Rqoki · 24/06/2021 20:44

Nobody does it better
From Russia with love (which is the best bond film!)
Goldfinger

Greenandcabbagelooking · 24/06/2021 20:45

YABU. It's For Your Eyes Only.

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 24/06/2021 20:46

"Who will he bang? WE SHALL SEE!"

ChocolateCakeYum · 24/06/2021 20:47

Best is Carly Simon - Nobody Does it Better (from the Spy Who Loved Me). Closely followed by Live and Let Die.

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 24/06/2021 20:49

You Know My Name and Goldeneye, I think. The Living Daylights was very of its time - I’m a massive A-ha fan and it makes me nostalgic for the 80s 😂

Sam Smith’s song is shite.
