Best Bond Theme

[flashgriffin]

So Escapists,
since Skyfall is coming out soon, I thought I'd pull out this question:
Which James Bond theme song is the best?

Best for me: Tie between Dr. No (because it's a classic) and Quantam of Solace (Jack White is a genius.)

 

[The Salty Vulcan]

I really like Skyfall's theme. Diamonds are Forever is pretty good and The Man with the Golden Gun is fun. Man, this is hard! I'm going to have to say From Russian with Love. I mean thats just one of the reasons its the best Bond film period.

Goldfinger, for me.

I grew up on Bond movies and the theme songs were always with me.
So hard to choose one - I like "You only live twice", "Live and let die", "The world is not enough", "Tomorrow never dies", that instrumental from "On her majesty's secret service"...

If I have to choose one, I pick this one:

The original from Dr. No and Goldeneye are tied for me.

I always liked "You Only Live Twice." I liked it more when I saw Robbie Williams use it.


Unrelated: Yeah it's robbie williams, but back then you were either a greasy metal head, baggy pants rap wannabe, etc. I liked Sugar Ray too. : )

Here's the original song:

Live and Let Die (Come on, it's Paul McCartney!)

The World is Not Enough

I'm quite partial to "The Living Daylights" as well. The movie itself and Dalton as Bond are criminally underrated too.

I'd say "The Living Daylights" too, seeing as it was the first Bond film I ever saw.

But I am also partial to the "Casino Royale" opener too.

Look no further, this is it -

It was never used though, but what a fantastic Bond theme it would make.

 

[F'Angus]

I really like the new Skyfall theme. It just sounds like a Bond Theme should.

Altough my favourite is probably Casino Royale's You Know My Name. That's my favourite opening as well, I didn't like Quantum's theme at all.

 

[Mister Swift]

This one is definitely my favourite:

Wait, what do you mean that wasn't a Bond movie?
