Title: Favourite Bond Title Song?
Post by: Banjax on 16 March 2010, 15:20:21

maybe controversial but, having watched every Bond film ever made I can say my favourite is "You Know My Name" Chris Cornell - funnily enough the first time I heard it - I thought "what a pile of ...." but now I reckon it's my favourite closely followed by Carly Simon's "Nobody Does It Better" and Shirley Bassey belting out "Goldfinger"

You Know My Name is the best i agree

Fantastic

Also like Die Another Day, although it is widely acknowledged to be the worst Bond tune ever apparently

"We Have All the Time in the World" by Louis Armstrong.

.. But then I have to say that. It was the first dance at our wedding. (http://planetsmilies.net/vomit-smiley-31.gif)

Big Bond fan, I even have the Omega watch!  :-[ Sadly the only physical similarity is mine and Sean Connery's hairstyle.  :( ;D

Matt Monroe from Russia with Love and Chris Cornell, by the way.

Nobody does it better
Live and let die.

All the others (and all the films) were crap. ;D ;D

"You know my name", and "Live and let die" (Macca's original, although the G'n'R version is good) get my vote. 
Another poor excuse for a Bond theme is Quantum of Solace's "Another way to die".  Instrumentaly it's quite good, definately has the feel of a good Bond theme, but the vocal work...oh dear.

I love David Arnold's take on Bond Themes on his album Shaken and Stirred. Not a Bond fan but love that album :y
