Man w. the Golden Gun - Top 5 Bond Theme Song?

[Mr. Misdemeanor]

I think so. The original Bond theme from Dr. No will always be #1 for me, but I think I like "The Man with the Golden Gun" as good or better than the rest of the themes.

My top 5:

01 "James Bond Theme" by Monty Norman & John Barry (Dr. No)
02 "The Man with the Golden Gun"
03 "Live and Let Die" by Wings
04 "The World is Not Enough" by Garbage (cool video too)
05 "Goldfinger" by Shirley Bassey


How high would you rank it?

[lordcatfish]

Yeah, it would've been one of the best for me. Not sure it would take top spot though. Others that would round out a top 5:

Wings - Live and Let Die
Duran Duran - A View to a Kill
A Ha - The Living Daylights
Chris Cornell - You Know My Name (Casino Royale)

[Railwayman]

Wings - Live and Let Die
Carly Simon - Nobody Does It Better
Shirley Bassey - Diamonds Are Forever
Chris Cornell - You Know My Name (Casino Royale)

I Iike the ACG Man With The Golden Gun but not sure it is eligible

[Ted Sallis]

A Ha - The Living Daylights

^^ This is my favourite JB song, but if the ACG's MWTGG had been selected for the corresponding film, it would be my favourite.

A Ha - The Living Daylights

Another theme that I like is Nancy Sinatra's "You Only Live Twice."

Andy Michael said on this board some years ago that Alice and John Barry met in London in the 70s. I'm a huge fan of both and if anyone knows any more about that meet or have a photo then please share. I've met Alice a number of times and always forgot to ask. Feel a right idiot- assuming of course that Alice would have given an accurate answer!
