Poll your favourite and name your top 3

I have not included Dr. No as the title song was Monty Norman's James Bond Theme

For Me -

1. Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey (Goldfinger)
2. You Know My Name - Chris Cornell (Casino Royale)
3. Thunderball - Tom Jones (Thunderball)

Worst - probably Madonna's abomination :thumbsd:
 
Mmm top 3..tough

I think my favorite is Louis Armstrongs one for OHMSS "We have all the time in the world"..a beautiful song.

So..
1. We have all the time in the world
2. Goldfinger
3. Diamonds are forever

Closely followed by "From russia with love" by Matt monro

1. Live and Let Die stands on it's own. Not just as a movie song. Paul singing at the Oscars was an all time Oscar highlight.

GnR thought enough of it to cover it. And then Macca reclaimed it.

2. Always had a soft spot for You Only Live Twice.

3. Goldfinger is the quintessential Bond theme.
 
A look at that list makes me scratch my head and wonder how they could ever turn down Brian Wilson when he offered them 'Pet Sounds' (the instrumental song) for use in the next Bond movie (whichever one it was).

As it is, Macca gets my vote easily. Even if Linda gets a co-writing credit ;)
 
View to a kill by an absolute mile.

Question - why didn't Casino Royale have a song purposely written for it like the other Bond films?
 
My favourite theme song is from my favourite Bond Film, THUNDERBALL.

1. Thunderball - Tom Jones
2. We have All the Time In the World - Louis Armstrong
3. Live and Let Die - Wings

Worst - Cannot split the last two.
 
1. Live and Let Die - Macca (Love the Guns N Roses version too)
2. View to a Kill
3. Goldfinger

Thunderball is also great. Wasn't fond of any of Goldeneye through to Die Another Day, Cornell's song is decent though.
 
1 You Only Live Twice - love the dreamy arrangement
2 Live And Let Die - excellent
3 Nobody Does It Better
4 Goldfinger

Nice to see 'you only live twice' getting some mentions. The film wasn't as good as the other connery ones but the theme song is up with the best.
