Hard to rank these. So many different criteria you can go by: Bond nostalgia, intro sequence, relevance to film, actual song itself, lasting power, uniqueness, etc.

1. OHMSS instrumental opening
2. You Know My Name - Casino Royale
3. A View to a Kill
4. Skyfall
5. Goldfinger

HM: Diamonds are Forever, Nobody Does it Better, Goldeneye, For Your Eyes Only

ETA: new one is pretty solid as well but have to wait to see how they place it into the opening of NTTD

For Your Eyes Only
Nobody Does it Better- Ranked on AFI’s list of top movie songs.

Those were my favorite Bond films growing up, so I’m kind of biased.


Goldeneye is pretty awesome.
View to a Kill because Duran Duran and the 80’s.

Another Way to Die and Die Another Day definitely tie for last place. Those suck

How is it not Live and Let Die?

The perfect set of contrasts within the song to give it that Bond feel. LINK

For some reason I've always been partial to "You Only Live Twice". It's not my preferred genre of music but it always appealed to me. I kind of liked McCartney's "Live and Let Die" to.

An underrated one I love is The World is Not Enough by Garbage

I love her voice and the lyrics to the song.

"We know when to kiss
And we know when to kill
If we can't have it all
Then nobody will"

That part alone is the epitome of James Bond I think.

Also has the lyric "There's no point in living, if you can't feel alive," which is pivotal to the plot and reveal in the movie.

Live and Let Die is the best Bond song and movie.

The world is not enough and the spy who loved me are a close second and third.

It’s Live and Let Die.

Best soundtrack is the Burt Bacharach soundtrack to the 67’ Casino Royale.
