I think "Live and Let Die" by McCartney and Wings was the worst song ever for a Bond movie.

"You Only Live Twice" by Nancy Sinatra and "Nobody Does It Better" by Carly Simon were two of the best.

“View To A Kill” is my favourite. “Goldfinger” is the classyist but “View” was the best rocker.

If you listen very closely, you can hear my Humacomb solo in Octopussy.

A dumb countdown. Is there anyone in the world who remembers the theme to “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service”? How did it it score a high #3?

I listened to the beginnings of the first five- THEY ALL SUCK!

[Chode]

whoever wrote that list is on drugs. Casino Royale (2006) wasn't the best, but Chris Cornell's You Know My Name is damn sure better than half the songs rated higher

[twister881]

Thunderball is my favorite title song — Tom Jones at his best, and the lyrics describe 007 (and his foes) perfectly.

Didn’t read article... but I read somewhere the Lana Del Rey may be lined up to sing the next Bond themesong... Hope it’s a hit. I love her voice and shoegazer style.

Brian Wilson (of the Beach Boys) wrote one that was rejected (and later turned up on Pet Sounds):
