Best and Worst James Bond songs..

[Boywonder89]

I didn't like The World Is Not Enough b/c it isn't James Bond-ish enough for me. Although I'm 18, I've been watching the Bond movies (yes, I've seen them ALL) since I was like 7. I would go around singing the themes, and the only ones I haven't liked are the ones after Goldeneye. It went downhill (Tina Turner -> Sheryl Crow -> Garbage -> Madonna...)

Haven't yet seen Casino Royale though.

Bah since everybody else has a "clean" list i had may as well cleans mines up as well. In no order what so evers

"Shirley Bassey - Diamonds Are Forever"
"Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey"
"Garbage - The World Is Not Enough"

Its kinda of hard to make it into a list of just three, which have me wondering, why dose the list have to stop at three ? Hell im going to add
"Golden Eye - Tina Tuner""
to that list as well.

We Hav All The Time In The World is not a theme to a Bond film. It was used in the film.

This question is right up my alley-- I'm a HUGE Bond fan.

Faves (in order):
1) A VIEW TO A KILL-- far and away #1, my favorite song of all time, period. It was my license plate till just about a week ago.
2) For Your Eyes Only
3) Die Another Day (sorry many of you don't like it-- I happen to like it a lot)
4) On Her Majesty's Secret Service (by John Barry Orchestra, it's just SO Bond)
5)The World Is Not Enough
I've seen 3 of these performed live by the original artists.

Worst 5:
1) From Russia With Love
2) We Have All the Time in the World (from On Her Majesty's Secret Service)
3) You Know My Name
4) License To Kill
5) Tomorrow Never Dies

All the rest I like to varying degrees.

Best: Nobody Does It Better, Licence To Kill, Goldeneye.

This was a lot harder than I thought it would be. After days of thought, I actually had to pull out my Best of Bond CD to figure out my favorite. And I still only narrowed it down to four:

Duran Duran - A View To A Kill
Shirley Bassey - Diamonds Are Forever
Tina Turner - Goldeneye "Revenge is a kiss, this time I won't miss!"
Garbage - The World Is Not Enough "If we can't have it all, then NOBODY will" (okay, so maybe the part of me that likes Bond themes is a little bloodthirsty )


Special mention goes to Shirley Bassey and the writers of Moonraker, for making a coherent Bond theme named after a FREAKING SPACESHIP. I think it deserves to be let out of the worst theme doghouse for that reason alone.

The only one I can't listen to from start to finish is Paul McCartney and Wings singing Live And Let Die. Even The Man With The Golden Gun (Lulu), is so bad it's actually good.
