Out of all the James Bond themes out there, is there one that you like best? For me, its tough. there are 3 that I really like:

"Tomorrow never dies" from Sheryl Crowe

"The world is not enough" from Shirley Manson

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C5NLfYdZaE

"All time high" Rita Coolidge

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFurkDf6WXg

Which one do you prefer? Or do you have another fave?

Live and Let Die by Paul McCarthy and Wings is a great Bond theme song.
It starts off kind of slow and quiet then gets fast and loud just like a Bond film.

My two absolute favorite Bond theme songs are a tie between You Only Live Twice and All Time High. Both are far above all the other ones.

I actually hate the GOLDFINGER song. I love the movie, but the song makes me want to shove popcorn in my ears.

The best Bond theme songs:

YOU KNOW MY NAME (from Casino Royale)
LIVE AND LET DIE
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY (also my favorite of the Roger Moore films)

The Living Daylights, License to Kill, and the oft-mentioned Live and Let Die (including the Guns n Roses cover!)

Those are all good. Also good is...
A View to a Kill (very good, great bass playing).

Live and Let Die ....is the best, Paul knew it was a winner, he even had his old
Beatles producer, George Martin, to produce it.
Nice McCartney patented chord sequences....G to Bm to C to D then G to Bm to C to Cm
(that major to minor Beatle trick) then G to Bm to C to A to D7
chorus is G to C to Gdim (another "Beatle" chord that "makes" the chorus) to G7
Fantastic intense main riff and even a "faux-reggae" middle eight section!

Trivia....Alice Cooper wanted in on the James Bond theme thing,
wrote a theme song for "Man With the Golden Gun" but it was rejected,
Alice Cooper put it on their Muscle of Love album instead.
