Music Best & Worst Bond Themes

[berbatrick]

The American Bond isn't that bad tbh

the rap section is genius cringe.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

Most of them are good to be fair.

Favourites have always been ‘Live and let die’ (good pop rock/mix of styles) and ‘The spy who loved me‘ (the piano intro gets me every time).

Not a fan of ‘the living daylights’.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

It fails at the first hurdle which is not having the film title in the song lyrics.

So this definitely fits the bill for Quantum of Solace then :

 

[RedSky]

Can’t see what OP has posted but best was Garbage with The World is Not Enough.

honourable mention to this too:

Such a shame as it's a great song and when edited with the film works really well. Considered "too dark" which makes you question the reasoning for getting Radiohead to do it in the first place. Instead we end up with Sam Smith doing some generic pop song. Yawn.



The full edit.

Right I was scrolling looking for Tina in here. Goldeneye was amazing.

And actually written by U2.

 

[Robertd0803]

I honestly couldnt remember the theme songs to any of Craigs besides Casino Royale and Skyfall. The themes simply arent memorable. Although thats maybe because they havent been played on repeat for the last 30 years.

Live and Let Die, Living Daylights,On her Majestys Secret Service and Skyfall are my top tier. (personal reasons for Skyfall its actually not a great tune)

Some of the weaker ones would be Moonraker, and most of the Brosnan ones besides Goldeneye.

That’s awesome.

 

[Sweet Square]

the rap section is genius cringe.

This face always gets me.

I love how Decker pretty much predicted american right wing politics post 2015

So this definitely fits the bill then :

Thats great.

Hands down the best Bond theme and video.

Without doubt nothing else comes close

 

[Kag]

That Sam Smith number is a warbling horror of a song.

 

[Infra-red]

That Sam Smith number is a warbling horror of a song.

Yep. Absolute shite.

They're definitely top tier. Goldfinger and Diamonds are Forever get an honourable mention.

The Man With the Golden Gun has a certain jaunty charm- HE HAS A POWERFUL WEAPON!!!!

 

[Posh Red]

Another Way to Die was actually pretty good in my opinion.

 

[Robertd0803]

Well you cant ever say that Bond films were in any way subtle

Opening line of the song as well

 

[MoskvaRed]

“You Only Live Twice” by Nancy Sinatra is for me the most evocative of that exotic glamour of the Sean Connery era before Bond fell into camp.

Speaking of Roger, ”Live and Let Die” is the best song.

Of the Daniel Craig era, the songs for “Casino Royale” and “Skyfall” are the only ones I can remember. The one by Chris Cornell is quite good.
