8. Diamonds Are Forever
Artist: Shirley BasseyFilm: Diamonds Are Forever http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80A6MtPwj-Q I think we all know what comes ahead of this Bassey tune, but this ones a corker in its own right. Instantly iconic in its only right, and very sensual and titillating- in all, a perfect complement to a Bond film. Bassey knows what makes a good Bond tune, alright. The intro is particularly mesmerising. 7. You Know My Name
Artist: Chris CornellFilm: Casino Royale http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nfc9GLxlhEw I imagine many here will turn their nose up at the high ranking for this tune. But its a big, epic, rocky theme with some proper muscle behind it with a sense of danger and the kind of tune that sums up the modern Bond- you know his name. After a few very lacklustre entries, this wakes you up and brings Bond to your attention.
