Thats not a song. Its a score.



The best Bond tune from the `80s.

I prefer Living Daylights by A-Ha

True, but there are films like Diamonds are Forever and Die Another Day which never start to get good in the first place.

Have to disagree with you slightly there Kev. Only slightly though.

There's about a minute of DAF that I enjoyed - the reintroduction of Connery as Bond by way of a shakedown of various bad-guys and low-lifes in pursuit of Blofeld (possibly in continuity with the killing of Tracey in OHMSS?), culminating in Bond choking a woman with her own bikini top while quiping, "Speak up darling, I can't hear you................." in Connery's own inimitable style.

Bond at his most sadistic, uncaring and driven.

I love the 'nastiness' of it - it's a shame that the rest of the film didnt keep the same tone. It went downhill from there.

100 % agreed on DAD though.

 

[Warhammer]

It's really the only great song from the `80s. The other ones were just good. I think the `60s was the best decade for the Bond songs AND score. The `70s and `80s were alright. The `90s were decent. And the 2000s, SO FAR, has been disappointing.

Oh yeah. I forgot to agree with you on that. Altogether, the 60's had the best Bond theme songs.

Indeed although I really like the one for Casino Royale. It hit the spot.

 

[ChickenScratch]

All I gotta say is Dance Into The Fire.

 

[Road Warrior]

All I gotta say is Dance Into The Fire.

LOL. Only in the `80s you got lyrics like that.

 

[LexCorp]

All I gotta say is Dance Into The Fire.

Yes great tune...

All I have to say is "You know my name!"

The best Bond theme songs?

1. A View To A Kill-Duran Duran
2. You Know My Name-Chris Cornell
3. Live and Let Die-Paul McCartney and Wings
4. Nobody Does It Better-Carly Simon
5. Tomorrow Never Dies-Sheryl Crow

Now, what do you guys think are the WORST Bond songs?

Here are my choices...

1. Die Another Day-Madonna (I don't need to explain this)
2. All Time High-Rita Coolidge (when I first saw "Octopussy", I was so hoping that the song would share the same name as the title)
3. Moonraker-Shirley Bassey (terrible lyrics)
4. License to Kill-Gladys Knight (sounds like elevator music)
5. From Russia With Love-Matt Monroe (just a boring song)

 

[LexCorp]

Only one song takes the crown for worst ever!

1. Die Another Day-Madonna (I don't need to explain this)

What the frack was this pile of ear pain! I hate it

 

[Mr Jide]

5. From Russia With Love-Matt Monroe (just a boring song)

Die Die Die!!!!

You cot damn right!

Best Bond song? No contest -- Goldfinger.

DAD was pretty bad. You'd think that an icon like Madonna finally doing a Bond song would make for a spectacular song, but we all know how that went. I can't stand "All Time High" from Octopussy. Also, I didn't like TLD's theme song, either. I like Licence To Kill, though. Hey, it's Gladys Knight.



Btw, I am glad that Duran Duran is getting some love. Too bad they aren't doing so well, currently. I love their newest song "Falling Down," though. Even collaborating with Timbo isn't helping them sell.

 

[BobJM]

I didn't mind Madonna's as much as a lot of you here, but I don't think it was the best.

 

[Warhammer]

DAD's opening titles were really cool, though. Flashes of Bond getting tortured, with the ice and fire woman. Cool stuff.

The visuals were very fascinating indeed. It's really a shame that Madonna's song was so wretched... that same title sequence with a good song would have worked wonders.

The best title song, IMO? "You Only Live Twice." Gorgeous, sweeping melody, lovely orchestrations, and some really wonderful lyrics.

 

[Drizzle]

Die Die Die!!!!

Sorry, but it was either that or "The Man with the Golden Gun", so I sided with the song I liked least out of the two, even though FRWL is one of the better Bond films.

 

[Golgo-13]

Live and Let Die.

Thee Worst Bond songs?

'The Living Daylights' tops them all imo, followed by 'The Man with the Golden Gun'. In fact all of Connery Bond songs except 'Goldfinger' and 'DAF' sucked.

 

[Sebastos]

Anyone when Casino Royale will show in Cinemax or HBO?

 

[Golgo-13]

I've seen it like a billion times on dvd already!
