in James Bond Music
to trow some fire into this I figure I start by mentioning this video.

It seems that the Bond song itself had something to do with a man and his sneeze.
'fascinating'

I guess my favorite would be the the one from Dr. No and the least favorite the latest one from QoS.

    Favorite: "On Her Majesty's Secret Service theme" by John Barry
    It's a song that just conjures up Bond ... going through a hour glass!

    Least Favorite: "Another Way To Die" by Alicia Keys and Jack White
    It's the most un-Bond song I've heard in the series, I couldn't even bring myself to view the music video on the DVD special features!
    It's the biggest! It's the best! It's Bond and beyond!
  • ManxmanManxman Posts: 125MI6 Agent
    Best piece of Bond music: OHMSS theme

    Best actual song: You Only Live Twice

    Worst song: Die Another Day
  • Thunderbird 2Thunderbird 2 East of Cardiff, Wales.Posts: 2,816MI6 Agent
    For me the only one I can't STAND is Another Way to Die. There is nothing classy or memorable about it. It looks (the video) sounds, and feels like it was hastilly thrown together, and just doesn't work!

    All of the others have great qualities, reflecting the timeframe of the film they come from, and often have energy and punch, - or alternatively a swish of romance, intrigue or menace. Even the "Poppy" tunes are up my street, I like Paul McCartney's muscial style, and have always loved both Duran Duran and Aha's music.
    The only one that edges in front of the others for me is Chris Cornell's You Know My Name. Loved it the second I heard it! Not just cause its punchy and almost autobiographical to the character of 007 himself, but also its one I can sing!

    Also an honourable mention to "We Have All The Time In The World" - Louis Armstong's gentle romantic love ballard? Classic stuff!
    This is Thunderbird 2, how can I be of assistance?
  • OsatoOsato Aberdeen, ScotlandPosts: 99MI6 Agent
    Best: Any from Goldfinger, From Russia with Love, Thunderball or Diamonds are Forever.

    Worst: Anothe Way to Die. Just horrible.

    I'm a stuck-in-my-ways John Barry/Shirley Bassey man.

    ...after my own heart! JB is a musical genius, and as for Bassey there's something about the way she sings attracts me like no other.

    It's an incredible song! And it suits the tone of the movie so well.

    Bassey's Best may be Diamonds are Forever while
    the worst is Moonraker which is a bit weak and drab.
    (They couldn't get Kate Bush to sing Moonraker at the time.)

    Bleuville. "JAWS! You obey me!" Drax from Moonraker.

    I must be the only one who really likes Another way to Die? I hear it every time my sons phone rings. Great instantly recognisable hooks in it for me. ;)

    Maybe it doesnt appeal to the older audience?

    Another way to Die is certainly at the very bottom for me.

    On the other hand, it's impossible to pick just one favourite. The World is not Enough, The Living Daylights, A View to a Kill, Tomorrow Never Dies... I'd better stop here, or half of the bond movies will be listed!
