|
OK..what is your favorite song?
I found this website that has a pretty good overview of all the songs.
My pick is The Spy Who Loved Me, which stands up as a great song in its own right as well as a knock-out theme song.
My Top 3:
1. The Spy Who Loved Me
2. Moonraker
3. Goldfinger
I can't go past the incomparable Shirley Bassey for the Top 3. She was a one-of-a-kind. I think Moonraker was the last good theme song.

It was a pretty rough decision for me since I really like Live and Let Die as well so my top three are:
1. A View to a Kill
2. Live and Let Die
3. Tomorrow Never Dies
Might be influenced by the fact that all my fav villians are in those movies. hmmmmmm.

My top 3 would be...
1. Live and Let Die
2. Goldfinger
3. The World is not Enough
And on a personal note, this most recent Bond theme song was horrible

SOS to Admins:
I made a boo-boo!
Can you change "The Spy Who Loved Me" to "Nobody Does It Better" in the Poll?
Thanks
Snow

I voted for "All time High" from Octopussy. Have to say one of my favorite John Barry bond scores.
My picks
All Time High
Live and let die
Man with the golden gun

I always liked bond-songs with strong and deep vocal performances, so I had to choose between Shirley Bassey or Gladys Knight.
1. Gladys Knight - Licence To Kill
2. Shirley Bassey - Goldfinger
3. Moonraker

Goldfinger was the first bond song I heard, still thinks it's one of the best, but I also adore "The World Is Not Enough" and "For Your Eyes Only"

I've always liked the Bond music and the songs. My favourite ST will probably be 'On her Majesty's ...'. 'You only live twice' is very beautiful in an orchestral version. I also like 'You know my name'. It immediately kicked-of 'Casino Royale' in a terrific way. |

Yeah, "You Know My Name" isn't that bad, I've actually grown quite fond of it after hearing several times.
(off topic: nice to have another belgian here, not many of us around here)
