OT: James Bonding Podcast ranks all James Bond theme songs

[TenerHallTerror]

Matt Gourley and Matt Mira did a great series of podcasts on Nerdist, reviewing each Bond film:

James Bonding Podcast

they just released a special podcast ranking the theme songs for every Bond film:

ranking my top 5:

#1 - "Live and Let Die" by Paul McCartney and the Wings
#2 - "Nobody Does it Better" by Carly Simon (for The Spy Who Loved Me)
#3 - "A View to a Kill" by Duran Duran
#4 - "Goldfinger" by Shirley Bassey
#5 - "Skyfall" by Adele

(NOTE: they do rank "theme" songs, including the classic and incomparable Monty Norman theme. I do not include these in my rankings)

Goldfinger is far and away the best.

Tom Petty does a good instrumental version of it.

I love that tune, but for some reason . . . Bassey gets watered down for me with "Moonraker" . . .

 

[manatree]

"For Your Eyes Only" for me.

Goldfinger for the win. First movie I remember as being really cool as a kid.

#2 is 1970s AM pop shlock

How about We Have All the Time in the World and Tomorrow Never Dies?

Goldfinger is #1 by a mile IMO

I like those except I think I would move
Goldfinger to #2
Skyfall to #3
Nobody does it better to #4
and A view to a Kill #5
