Now this is a tough one for me.

I have a special place in my heart for "Nobody Does It Better" since The Spy Who Loved Me is the first Bond film I ever saw.

However, I also love the songs to Goldfinger, Thunderball, You Only Live Twice, Live and Let Die, & For Your Eyes Only as well.

For me, it is easily "Live and Let Die."

LIVE AND LET DIE

The best song, and the best movie.

My personal favorite is Garbage's The World is Not Enough. Too bad the movie wasn't nearly as good as the song...

You have to go "Live and Let Die", IMO. It's the only one that really stands alone as a good song without being seen with the movie.

"Goldfinger" is pretty good too, though.

"A View To A Kill" is by far the best Bond theme song.

I like em all, just the one's I am not too fond of is Sheryl Crow & A-Ha. :(

Allow me to be the first and most likely only to say Sheryl Crow's "Tomorrow Never Dies."

I personally liked "The World is Not Enough" and "For Your Eyes Only" and I thought "Die Another Day" really sucked. The movie was OK though.

I thought The World Is Not Enough by Garbage rocked, and I didn't think Tomorrow Never Dies by Sheryl Crow was too bad either.

By far, my absolute favorite is Live and Let Die.
All the new themes are utter crap, IMO.

It's pretty soft, but I've always loved "For Your Eyes Only." And of course "Goldfinger is a freaking clasic. Not a fan of most of the new ones, but I did really like Garbage's "The World is Not Enough."

Goldfinger & Live and Let Die are the best

The Goldeneye theme wasn't too bad.

the worst is Madonna's Die Another Day

The best:

Madonna - Die Another Day

I was totally blown away by this song. It's totally different from all the other songs, and in combination with the opening sequence it's even better. In my opinion of course...

All time favourite: Live and Let Die-Paul McCartney & Wings

Followed up by: A View to A Kill-Duran Duran
The Living Daylights-A-ha

Of course the absolute worse song would be Madonna's Die Another Day...

Really how many times can you keep repeating "Die Another Day" to the same beat, over and over and over and over....William Hung could have done a better job.:D
