What's your favorite James Bond theme song?

Without checking Google for a complete list... the ones that immediately come to my mind as being the most memorable are:

Goldfinger (Shirley Bassey)
The Spy Who Loved Me (Carly Simon)
Live and Let Die (Paul McCartney)

Those would be my top three faves (in that order) without looking for others that I may have forgotten.

Always loved that song and have fond memories of seeing that film at a drive-in with my dad back when things like that still existed!

… of Goldfinger first, even though Live and Let Die was great. Also liked View to a Kill.

Is the Spy Who Loved me theme the same as "Nobody Does it Better"? If so, that's right up there on my second tier.

Also, Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" from Casino Royale is really underrated.

Tina Turner - Golden Eye
(Love her sooooooo much!)



I also enjoy the Guns N' Roses version of "Live and Let Die".

You may like this live performance of a Bond Medley. It's a really nice mix.
