Inspired by a chat with a lovely lady I wondered what your favourite Bond music might be?

I say music as it's not just the themes that are good where 007 is concerned.

Shirley Bassey's masterpiece from Goldfinger

Various

The original, sleazy, London jazz of the main Bond theme (Dr. No soundtrack) . The sense of malice, violence and lust.

Bond title songs? 'Goldfinger', 'The World is not Enough' and 'The Living Daylights' mainly down to my second favourite Bond woman.

Was meant to be the main credits tune for tomorrow never dies, but they went with sheryl crow.

It was used as the action theme throughout the film ...rather than sheryl crow.

I'm kinda shocked no mentioned diamonds are forever by Shirley Bassey, her vocals were amazing and showed amazing power.

As for which is the greatest singer, surely it has to be Shirley Bassey, the only artist with 3 bond themes. All of them classics. Goldfinger and Moonraker were the other two.
