    Diamonds Are Forever (with the longer intro*) sung by Shirley Bassey.

    *Not the shorter version on the Best of compilations.

    I've never been that much of a fan of Bassey's music and do think three attempts was maybe one too many and I'm not afraid to admit it

    Diamonds could well be the best of the three but Moonraker does come close, I don't like the disco variation at the end

    It sounds firmly stuck in the mid 1980s though, it hasn't aged well

    Most successful James Bond track in the charts both sides of the Atlantic though, the Duran Duran video of it is a bit cheesy if you've seen it

    Mr ? 'Bon, Simon Le Bon..' :-S

    Yeah, the video is kind of strange, but the song is epic!

    Agreed!

    LALD, AVTAK, TLD, and GE have theme songs that are really energetic and exciting!

    My favorite is This unused theme for QoS.

    I understand she's wasn't raised on English, but I found nothing good about that song. IMO if I have to say it. Didn't strike me as 'singing' exactly, more raspy talking/shouting.

    YKMN is not bad but compared to the likes of DAF, MR or AVTAK it's like a Justin Bieber song.

    Oh man, that song helped me love the movie as much as I do. Those brass instrument horns in the background give me chills it's so epic!

    @JWESTBROOK That is Bjork's style, (WHICH I LOVE) It's what shes known for, so talented and I'm sure Millions already agree, this just isn't a well distributed song of hers.

    I'm not saying its the BEST Bond song but its certainly a personal favourite. I don't have the same reaction with any of the other songs.

    Full weight of Nackers support is behind...Moonraker. The most haunting and gorgeous melody. I melt every time.

    I was about to sat YOLT, but I really, really hate Bjork, so I'll go for the runner-up: From Russia With Love. An increadably underrated song here.

    Disagree totally, G&R's version is brilliant and quite faithful with a little of their style thrown in. Of course, unless you don't like G&R to begin with...

    I agree with all three of you to a degree. Of course "nobody does it better" than Barry, but I think YKMN is a better rock and Bond song than AVTAK (but not LALD), comparing YKMN with DAF and MR is apples to oranges. Bieber doesn't have as much talent in his entire body as one of Cornell's pinkies @-)

    I love the Guns n Roses version. Maybe I'm biased because I love them as a band but I think it might be even better than the original.
