Blasphemy!
I think Jack White needs to change his name because he is always getting confused with Jack Black!

Great list.
The only change I would make is replacing "Die Another Day" w/ "The Living Daylights" by A-Ha. But even that's a pretty tough call.

Just a technical point, but "We Have All the Time in the World" played during the actual film portion of "OHMSS," not during the titles. The theme to "OHMSS" was instrumental.
Major gripe with the list...
"Die Another Day"....really?
I know everyone has their own tastes. The only thing I can come up with positive for that song is that its Mozart compared to the horror that was "Another Way to Die."
Some bits of Bond music "Did you know?"
1. Original theme song for "Thunderball" was a track called "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" - there are two versions of it, one sung by Dionne Warwick. "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was what the Japanese referred to James Bond as in the '60s.
2. Upon hearing "Goldfinger," Cubby Broccoli said, "That is the worst f***ing song I have ever heard." Due to time constraints, they couldn't produce another song before the film's release. The record's vinyl release sold a million copies in the U.S. alone.
3. In OHMSS, the janitor in the train station scene is whistling the Goldfinger theme.
4. The original theme for "Tomorrow Never Dies" was a K.D. Lang song called "Surrender." It became the end credits theme.
5. Before becoming a Celine Dion hit, the song "If you ask me to" served as the end credits song for "Liscense to Kill" and was sung by Patti LaBelle.
6. "A View to a Kill" is the only Bond theme to reach No. 1 on the U.S. charts. Surprisingly, it only reached No. 2 in the UK.
7. Dame Shirley Bassey has sung more Bond themes than anyone else at three -- Goldfinger, Diamonds are Forever, and Moonraker.
and finally....
8. The music for "For Your Eyes Only" (both the theme and the score) were written by LSU alum Bill Conti, who also scored Rocky and The Karate Kid to name a few.

Certainly the worst Roger Moore flick.
That would be Moon Raker. By far.

Supposedly the producers were actually going to use this song for the Thunderball theme, but changed their minds at the last minute and hired Tom Jones.

"Nobody Does it Better" is the name of the song in THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. Great song. I remember this song being played over Walter Payton highlights in the 70s and it gave me chills up and down my spine.

Dude, were you at my Uncle's house for Thanksgiving in the 70s?? I remember the Patyton highlights everytime I hear that song

But go ahead and switch it for the Madonna song, those of you who like this one so much, it wouldn't really bother me.
This is the only change I would make.
Say what you want about Moore's Bond movies (I friggin hate them), but they did have good opening credit songs.
