This was a difficult task. Numbers seven through fourteen are practically interchangeable. The top fourteen are all excellent songs, which is a mighty impressive track record for Bond. Numbers fifteen through eighteen are mediocrities, while the bottom four are atrocities.

Number 20 might be a little controversial, but I genuinely do not like the song or think it works as a Bond theme.
That's a fair point, and yet I rather like All Time High and couldn't imagine OP without it!

Those are the ones I can think of that I really liked.

What a joke. Serra's Experience of Love is number one surely RWIG45?
Life really is unfair when there are deaf people in this world yet you are allowed to own a functioning pair of ears.
Flagged for bad taste.
Another epic post from @TheWiz =))
Fifty years of Bond themes from Monty Norman to John Barry. From Paul McCartney to Shirley Bassey. From Tom Jones to Carly Simon. And some numpty thinks Lani Hall/Michael Legrand is the pick of the bunch!
I've been saying that for years. If you're a Nazi or a paedo our society says your 'opinion' is so out there that you should be locked up. Shouldn't it be the same for cases like this?

18. Her Majesty's Secret Service (John Barry Orch.)
19. Die Another Day
20. We Have All The Time In The World (not sure if this or #18 is considered the theme, yet they are both worth mentioning)
21. License To Kill
22. Another Way To Die
23. the Living Daylights
24. You Only Live Twice
25. The Man With The Golden Gun
I have to say the song NSNA is about my favourite part of that sketchy film.
In NO WAY better than most Bond (EON) songs, except for maybe AWTD or FYEO...

Others:
The Bond Theme and its versions deserve their own thread. I'd love to hear the version Eric Clapton did for LTK.
My fav BGM is A Drive In The Country minus for its mariachi (not Spanish at all) start, closely followed by Q's Trick.
