I miss the 90s.
I miss the 90s.
Yes.
I still listen to Garbage's Bond song, all the time. It's literally so perfect for '90s Bond.

I enjoyed that era of Madonna.
I love REM. The new Bond song is meh and her fans are crazy cult people.

It's objective fact that the best Bond songs were in the 80s.
Objective. Inarguable. Fact.
I don’t remember Iron Maiden doing a Bond song.Quoting megladon8 (view post)
“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, er... an eating machine. It's really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks and that's all.”
Can't think of a single 80s bond song off the top of my head. They must have been stellar.
Quoting Dukefrukem (view post)
These are both memorable classics.
First time hearing them here.
Gladys Knight's Licence to Kill is the all time best theme.
The movie also ended with Patti Labelle's If You Asked Me To, making it the Bond with the best music by a country mile.
The Living Daylights also has The Pretenders doing If There Was a Man, another fantastic secondary Bond song.
REM are in my Top 5 bands of all time. They rule hard.Quoting Skitch (view post)
Shiny Happy People wouldn't be in their top 100 songs.

I don't hate most REM songs, but that one is rough. I've just never felt like a shiny happy person lolQuoting transmogrifier (view post)
you guys are free to like whatever you like but the choice of best bond theme only involves 2 songs:

People can call it what they want, but Live and Let Die theme is metal.
Wish I liked the actual movie more.
I always dig it when songwriters incorporate dumb names and awkward phrases into their pop aesthetic, eg: "Live and Let Die" and "Goldfinger" or and especially "I Want a New Drug" and "Ghostbusters."Quoting Skitch (view post)
Agree about the movie, which I've seen once and loooooong ago with no desire to revisit.
Goldfinger's is perfect.
Oh shit. Goldeneye is good too. That opening beat!
Also a big fan of Goldeneye's.

Goldeneye is the best Bond movie.
I love the themes for Thunderball and Live And Let Die the most.
Also have a soft spot for For Your Eyes Only.
