My Favorite/Least Favorite James Bond Music

 






THE BEST JAMES BOND SOUNDTRACK COMPOSERS:

1. John Barry
2. David Arnold
3. Everyone else


MY FAVORITE JAMES BOND SOUNDTRACKS: 

ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE, John Barry
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE, John Barry
GOLDFINGER, John Barry
YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE, John Barry
CASINO ROYALE (1967), Burt Bacharach

Yes, I know this movie isn't part of the official Bond series, but on my blog I can do whatever I want. 


MY FAVORITE JAMES BOND OPENING CREDIT SONGS: 

"Goldfinger", performed by Shirley Bassey in GOLDFINGER
"A View To A Kill", performed by Duran Duran in A VIEW TO A KILL

The best thing about the movie by far. 

"Live and Let Die", performed by Paul McCartney in LIVE AND LET DIE

Does anyone else think it ironic that the "nice Beatle" wrote and sang such a misanthropic tune?

"Nobody Does It Better", performed by Carly Simon in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME
"You Know My Name", performed by Chris Cornell in CASINO ROYALE (2006)

An off-the-wall pick, but it stands out over the recent mediocre Bond title songs.  


MY LEAST FAVORITE JAMES BOND OPENING CREDIT SONGS:

"The Living Daylights", performed by a-ha in THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS

If you can understand the lyrics to this song, you should apply for a job as a translator at the United Nations. 

"All Time High", performed by Rita Coolidge in OCTOPUSSY

A fitting song for AM Easy Listening radio, but not for a Bond film. 

"Die Another Day", performed by Madonna in DIE ANOTHER DAY

What's worse--the song, or Madonna's cameo in the film?

"Writing's On The Wall", performed by Sam Smith in SPECTRE
"No Time To Die", performed by Billie Eilish in NO TIME TO DIE

I watched this movie less than a week ago from writing this, and I literally remember nothing about the title song.
