I think I've got these right... Anyway, there's quite a bit of ground covered over the years and most of us have presumably seen a Bond flick or two. Personally, I really enjoy Nancy Sinatra's You Only Live Twice and Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger. But I'm sure there will be disagreement among the ranks and thus, a purpose for this question. Which theme music stands out for you?
John Barry / Dr. No 1962
Matt Munro / From Russia with Love 1963
Shirley Bassey / Goldfinger 1964
Tom Jones / Thunderball 1965
Nancy Sinatra / You Only Live Twice 1967
John Barry / On Her Majesty's Secret Service 1969
Shirley Bassey / Diamonds Are Forever 1971
Paul McCartney & Wings / Live and Let Die 1973

I like the ones by McCartney and Simon. But what's also great is that most of the various theme songs fit the time in which the movie was made. Thus, Nancy Sinatra's is fantastic.
I grew up and with and ate breathed and slept everything I could of Live and Let Die! I was about 7 at the time it came out and I loved the movie and the band Wings at that time.
Shirley Bassey / Goldfinger 1964
Nancy Sinatra / You Only Live Twice 1967
Shirley Bassey / Diamonds Are Forever 1971
Paul McCartney & Wings / Live and Let Die 1973
Carly Simon / The Spy Who Loved Me 1977
Shirley Bassey / Moonraker 1979
Garbage / The World Is Not Enough 1999
IMO these are the best, with Ms. Bassey's Goldfinger on top. She is one of the great all-time divas.
