So, with SPECTRE not far off the theme song for that soon to be announced, I thought it would be a good time to RATE the current Bond themes. They span over 50 years and almost every (respectable, not shit) genre known to man, woman, alien or Scot. I've included Lani Hall's Never Say Never Again for completeness sake, as it was the theme tune to a James Bond film, even if it wasn't one of the MAIN ones.

 

00 Monty Norman - Dr. No

00 Matt Monro - From Russia With Love

00 Shirley Bassey - Goldfinger

00 Tom Jones - Thunderball

00 Nancy Sinatra - You Only Live Twice

00 The John Barry Orchestra - On Her Majesty's Secret Service

00 Louis Armstrong - We Have All The Time In The World

00 Shirley Bassey - Diamonds Are Forever

00 Paul McCartney & Wings - Live & Let Die

00 Lulu - The Man With The Golden Gun

00 Carly Simon - Nobody Does It Better

00 Shirley Bassey - Moonraker

00 Sheena Easton - For Your Eyes Only

00 Rita Coolidge - All Time High

00 Lani Hall - Never Say Never Again

00 Duran Duran - A View To A Kill

00 A-ha - The Living Daylights

00 Galdys Knight - License To Kill

00 Tina Turner - Goldeneye

00 Sheryl Crow - Tomorrow Never Dies

00 Garbage - The World Is Not Enough

00 Madonna - Die Another Day

00 Chris Cornell - You Know My Name

00 Alicia Keys & Jack White - Another Way To Die

00 Adele - Skyfall

 

As usual with these things, please rate all the songs out of 10, with one -1 and one 11 allowed, but as always these are optional. This rate will close SUNDAY AUGUST 23RD at 23:59pm.

 

ENJOY (and discuss)

Wow, a 0 for Moonraker is...unexpected. I didn't think it would get ANY divisive marks at all.

08 Monty Norman - Dr. No

08 Matt Monro - From Russia With Love

07 Shirley Bassey - Goldfinger

10 Tom Jones - Thunderball (Classic James Bond song for me with LALD :heart: )

08 Nancy Sinatra - You Only Live Twice

07 The John Barry Orchestra - On Her Majesty's Secret Service

06 Louis Armstrong - We Have All The Time In The World

09 Shirley Bassey - Diamonds Are Forever

11 Paul McCartney & Wings - Live & Let Die

08 Garbage - The World Is Not Enough

05 Madonna - Die Another Day

06 Chris Cornell - You Know My Name

00 Alicia Keys & Jack White - Another Way To Die (I can't even remember this song. So it has be quite a forgettable song)

06 Adele - Skyfall (Probably would've been higher if it didn't get overplayed on radio)

 

I feel like the earlier theme songs were so much better than the later ones. Hoping that Ellie or whoever is doing the song this time will nail it.

The original James Bond Theme has to have a 10, just because it is so legendary, recognisable and one of the best theme for a franchise ever, opposed to how much I listen to it or anything like that.

 

Listening to Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones on loud through headphones really shows off how incredible their voices are.

 

Every time I hear 'We Have All the Time in the World', I remember the heartbreaking ending of its respective film. :cry:

 

Big shout out to 'Surrender' which is possibly my favourite Bond theme of all. Thankfully, 'Tomorrow Never Dies' is also excellent so I'm not gutted it didn't get the bill. 'If There Was a Man' by The Pretenders is also brilliant, as is Celine Dion's version of 'If You Asked Me To' (although that's not the version used on Licence to Kill).

The FULL Patti version of If You Asked Me To is every bit as good as Celine's. Bitch knows how to SQUEEZE every ounce of every single note. I think Surrender is definitely up there too, it's also what Skyfall was trying to be (an updated take on the Bond classic) but failed to nail.
