Any of these songs, IMO, is worthy of #1, even many that have been eliminated (and I am including TMWTGG which I personally love... I guess because it evokes Bassey bombast) but GF is the one that really turns my crank. It screams both Barry and Bond, and I think is the most iconic of all the Bond opening title songs.
Personally I am ignoring the JB Theme. I don't think it should have been included as it permeates all the original run of 20 films. It's not unique to any film. It just happened to be introduced in the first film and play over the titles, although if the criteria is indeed "the music that plays over the opening titles", so be it.
But that aside, I think the vocal version of FRWL more properly qualifies as the "title song" and that TJB Theme doesn't qualify as any films title piece.
However, if TJB Theme is still standing in the final two, I am switching my vote to it. I am not putting a negative on it, even if I did earlier, but that was more of a protest vote, to see if it could be dispatched with early.
TJB Theme I think is the defining piece of Bond music, moreso than any of the individual title songs that followed.
It towers over everything else, much the way Sean Connery as Bond, exists in his own rarefied air, towering over all the other Bonds. The other Bonds source and flow from Sean's original brilliance, just as all Bond opening title music is derivative somewhat of the original JB Theme..... if I may suggest in my so very humble opinion of course. :P

I do feel it's all really being skewed by the JB theme but for all the usual reasons GF will win this. For me the real surprise is AVTAK.
There's an urgent menace to OHMSS which just isn't there with any other choice here which makes it my number 1!!
Slow refresh on my phone! Thanks, duly edited!
