Got to be "Live and Let Die" but only if it's the Guns and Roses version, saying that if we're going for versions then the Propellerheads version of "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" from Deksanddrumsandrockandroll wins hands down!

Can't decide on the best, Die Another Day has to be the worst though

On Her Majesty's Secret Service - John Barry The John Barry Orchestra






That one.

Nobody Does It Better - Carly Simon.

All day long.

Best opening credits, best car, best bond bird, best bond film, best theme.

Done.

..as an aside... I just bought David Arnold's 'Shaken & Stirred' compilation - some very good interpretations of the classic's which I thought might be crass but worked really well

I have two equal bests.

Carly Simon for the overall best song.

However the sound of the Gladys Knight track is superb and best reminds me of Bond.

On that note, I think the most 'Bond sounding' track ever is this, and it would have been one of the best:

The first time I heard that I was sat in the studio with the producer during mixing and I told him the same, and he admitted that was never his intention. I guess he never made the call to the Broccoli clan...!

Musically, I can't decide between Carly Simon and Shirley (Goldfinger)
