Top 10 Bond themes.

[Webbo]

The 007 movies have spawned a host of classic soundtracks - but Live And Let Die has been named as the greatest ever James Bond theme.

Sir Paul McCartney's track, which he recorded with his band Wings, topped a poll of BBC Radio 5 Live and Radio 2 listeners.

Taken from the 1973 Bond film of the same name, Live And Let Die pulled in more than a quarter of the votes in the poll to find fans' favourite 007 theme tune.

TOP TEN CLASSIC JAMES BOND THEME TUNES

1. Live and Let Die: Paul McCartney and Wings, 1973

Full of drama and powerful guitar-riffed excitement, the spine-tingling tune is instantly recognisable

2. Nobody Does It Better: (The Spy Who Loved Me), Carly Simon, 1977

Smooth and seductive, the pace of the song is totally different to Live and Let Die, but equally as anthemic

3. Goldfinger, Shirley Bassey, 1964

The big-voiced Welsh crooner made this a soulful, epic classic. When Bassey belts out this number nobody is in any doubt of Bond's extraordinary talents

4. A View to a Kill: Duran Duran, 1985

This is the only Bond theme to have reached the top of the UK charts. A classic Duran Duran track it combines rock-and-roll with a foot-tapping inducing drumbeat.

5. Another Way to Die: (Quantum of Solace), Alicia Keys and Jack White, 2008

The edgiest 007 theme so far, shaken not stirred with its funky rhythm and bluesy slick harmony of Keys and White

6. The World Is Not Enough: Garbage, 1999

Garbage lead singer Shirley Manson’s stirring lyric made this one of the most popular theme tunes on the list, holding its own with other favourites

7. Diamonds Are Forever: Shirley Bassey, 1971

Seven years after she belted out Goldfinger the diva was asked to sing the title track to the 1971 Bond offering, which was not quite, but nearly, as good

8. You Only Live Twice: Nancy Sinatra, 1967

Dreamy, haunting, and completely mesmerizing

9. For Your Eyes Only: Sheena Easton, 1981

An alluring ’80s Bond ballad that entices fans to belt it out in the bathroom

10. You Know My Name (Casino Royale), Chris Cornell, 2006

Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell takes a shot at a spy serenade and pulls it off with his Seattle-grown growl and gusto

The Spy Who Loved Me would have been on there with the right narration.

[breadandcheese]

The world is not enough at no 6?

No A-Ha and Living Daylights?

No On Her Majesty's Secret Service?

This poll is a travesty.

I like to see peoples opinions and discussions...crazy.

[Fox92]

'You only live twice' and 'Live and let die' are my favourites. But most of them are very good songs.

No Herb Alpert?

My favourites is Dame Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger. Always sticks in my head that one. Have to admit not really that bothered with the Bond films of recent years and can't remember their theme tunes.

[Trav Le Bleu]

Can't belive this isn't in there.

Maybe not the best Bond movie ever, though certainly not the turkey some people would say, this is probably the most rousing theme.

It also includes this classic...

[Rocket-Ron]

My wife is a massive Bond fan. Relly got me into it.

All Time High

Rita Coolidge

Jarvis Cocker

[Trav Le Bleu]

Ah, the one nobody remembers (and incidentally, the only one never to hit the UK top 40, I believe.)

[21st Century Fox]

I saw Chris Cornell support Aerosmith at Hyde Park a few years ago and he brought out Dave Arnold to perform You Know My Name from Casino Royale, there's something surreal about seeing a Bond theme performed live.

Adele to sing new bond tune

Have to say it's a great choice (having not heard the song yet)

She's a great singer, but I must say that 'Supremacy' by Muse would have been a perfect choice. That song is made for Bond. (I might be a bit biased)

[Trav Le Bleu]

Does anyone else have any songs that they think would have made great Bond movie songs? I always think that THIS song would have been a great Bond song.

Roll ladies dancing in silhouette.

Sly by Massive Attack has got that spy movie theme vibe
