Cyclone49 wrote:"You Know My Name" is my favourite, it's an awesome rock track that sounds really different from what has come before but is still undeniably Bondian. A View to a Kill, The Living Daylights and Tommorow Never Dies (I think I'm the only person that likes that one) are also fantastic, and I've always liked the OHMSS theme as well.
Wasn't impressed with YKMN, although it did have Bondian flare.
Another Way to Die is dieing a slow painfully agonizing death. Especially for those who listened to it.
Favorite Bond Movie: From Russia With Love, Moonraker, The Living Daylights, License to Kill, Goldeneye, Casino Royale
Favorite Movies: south park: the movie, jurassic park, BASEketball, the departed, borat, beavis and butthead do america, batman returns, the dark knight
I didn't think AWTD was that bad to be honest. It wasn't great by any means, but there's certainly been worse theme songs (Moonraker, You Only Live Twice, the non-instrumental FRWL... IMO of course). I didn't like it at first, but it's grown on me at first, and I'm glad they are at least trying to take risks with the theme song instead of just doing another Bassey-pastiche, even if the risk didn't quite pay off.
On an unrelated note, does anyone know why my posts take so long to show up? I posted that last one about a month ago, and it didn't show up until a week or so ago. Same with other posts I've made.

With the talent willing to commit themselves to a theme song AWTD is unforgivable.

Favorite Movies: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Crazy For Christmas, The Empire Strikes Back, League of Gentlemen (1960's British film), Big Trouble in Little China, Police Academy 2, Carry On At Your Convenience, Commando, Halloween III: Season of the Witch,

I can't believe you did not like You Only Live Twice. Moonraker is an acquired taste. As you say, it would have been easy to do a traditional Bond theme.

There were a few "technical problems". Your posts should work as normal now.

Sympathy vote for AWTD. It wasn't as bad as DAD, so I gave it a vote.
My top 5:
A View to a Kill - Duran Duran
Live and Let Die - Paul McCartney
You Know My Name - Chris Cornell
The Spy Who Loved Me (Nobody Does it Better) - Carley Simon
Licence to Kill - Gladys Knight
My least favorite is Goldeneye, even though I loved the movie. I just thought they were trying to hard to make it like Goldfinger.
I do love the Lulu lyrics... but my choices were...
Thunderball (Tom Jones)
On Her Majesty's Secret Service (John Barry)
Nobody Does It Better (Carly Simon)
A View To a Kill (Duran Duran)
Licence to Kill (Gladys Knight)
The first four I simply love and enjoy often. The last one is a fave for Bond drinking games so it had to have a place.
Just going from memory I like the early bond themes and latter ones better, with the exception of the Craig movies.
I really hated CRs theme in the theater and listening to the mp3 of the last one they actually manged to make it worse
I hated DAFs theme but thought LALD was ok. Nobody does it better was nice too,. I guess it s hit and miss and depends on when you grew up, which is probably why i like the latter themes more.
