http://www.mi6community.com/index.php?p=/discussion/1250/ive-had-an-epiphany-nobody-does-it-better.-it-is-the-best-bond-song-ever.
for your eyes only
you only live twice and moonraker have the best songs for romance in my view
live and let die(better then the film)same w a view to a kill
the man w the golden gun
Goldeneye by Tina Turner is also good, and 'Surrender' by KD Lang would be near the top if its included!
A View to a Kill
Where Has Everybody Gone
Goldfinger
You Know My Name
Live and Let Die
I like the OHMSS instrumental better than any of them though, and the FRWL instrumental (far superior to the vocal imho) I would probably place after AVTAK.
001) "Thunderball" by Tom Jones(the ultimate anthem to Bond IMHO)
002) "You Only Live Twice" by Nancy Sinatra(couldn't get the medley out of my head after first hearing it)
003) "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" by John Barry and Orchestra(favorite instrumental title song)
004) "You Know My Name" by Chris Cornell.(A modern day Bond anthem)
005) "A View To A Kill" by Duran Duran(if only the film itself were as good).
Updated list time!
1. You Know My Name - Chris Cornell
2. Nobody Does It Better - Carly Simon
3. Goldfinger - Shirley Bassey
4. Live and Let Die - Paul McCartney and Wings
5. A View to a Kill - Duran Duran
6. Skyfall - Adele
2. From Russia With Love (lyric version): I like it. It's got style and class, and suave. Perfect for it's film and for Bond.
3. You Only Live Twice: It's Asian flare (thank you Mr. Barry) makes it the most unique Bond theme. Unfortunately upon research you'll find Nancy didn't/couldn't sing it in one take, so it technically was never 'completed', but the mix of what she could do is phenomenal and one of the greatest Bond ballads.
4. Skyfall: Sounds modern, but homages a classic theme and a classic man. Possibly the most film-centric and involved Bond ballads, it tells a 2.5 hour story in 5 minutes and still makes you feel it.
5. Diamonds Are Forever: The only Bassey ballad I really like out of film (though she has two potential Bond themes that I find phenomenal), its powerful and honestly the best part of its respective film.

Die Another Day
1) Live And Let Die. It's just epic. Not just the best Bond songs, but a classic rock song too.
2) You Know My Name. Fits the film perfectly, it's catchy, it sounds really Bondanian and it's a great rock song.
3) OHMSS. Really catchy, great song that gets fitted into the films score too.
4) TWINE. Big, brassy, bold, catchy and you can tell straight away it's a Bond song.
5) TLD. Maybe a bit too 80s pop but I've always had a soft spot for it since I saw TLD in the cinema when I was just 5. And again, it's mixed in really well with the score.
Top 5 worst.
1) AWTD. Worst thing Jack White has ever done, and it's a shame because I'm a fan of his. No melody, the duet just doesn't work, Keys just sounds annoying at times.
2) DAD. Too electro and repetative, and Madonna just sucks.
3) TMWTGG. Just annoying.
4) All Time High. Not terrible, just really forgettable and boring.
5) TND. Same as above really.
2. Live and Let Die-Paul McCartney
3. You Only Live Twice-Nancy Sinatra
4. A View to a Kill-Duran Duran
5. Goldfinger-Shirley Bassey
6. Skyfall-Adele
7. You Know my Name-Chris Cornell
8. The Living Daylights-Aha
9. Goldeneye-Tina Turner
10. Nobody Does it Better- Carly Simon
The other ones I like a lot are:
2. Goldfinger (bombastic first notes and indelibly iconic BOND!)
3. Live and Let Die (rock on forever, Paul)
4. You Only Live Twice (sounds sad to me, but is so hauntingly lovely)
5. Skyfall (pulls me in and Adele has a great voice)
6. A View to A Kill
7. Diamonds Are Forever
8. Moonraker
