Live and Let Die has aged the best, and it's also just kinda badass on it's own merits. It's like the producers said, "man, we have all these weird unmemorable jazzy songs with saxophones, let's get some people in here who can rock the f*** out."

I'm partial to Her Majesty's Secret Service "We have all the time in the world" By John Barry and Hal David and sung by Loius Armstrong.
I also like Living Daylights. By Aha.
As I understand it most soundtracks are produced by the composer of the film in question, so Madonna's version may not be her fault. I dunno?

I have really liked both "You Know My Name" and "Skyfall" - though the theme that came between them, "Another Way to Die" is one of the worst ever.
Reaching back further, I do dig "Live and Let Die" and "A View to a Kill" quite a bit - even if Im not crazy about the films the arrived with.
Excuse me while I soak in all these sweet, sweet conservative tears.

After watching Shirley Bassey bring the house down with her song I pick;
1. Goldfinger
2. Live and Let Die
3. Nobody Does It Better
4. You Only Live Twice
She gave me chills.

I think, with Madonna, they were trying to be all modern. Its not like Madge couldn't carry a more traditional tune.
I think I'd have to go with the "Live and Let Die" consensus.
Incidentally, is it just me or does the track "Supremacy" from the latest Muse album sound like it was supposed to be a Bond theme? (OK, Muse do have a bit of a magpie tendency...)

I would still go for the Orchestra Theme, no words. Live and Let Die is good and so is 'Goldfinger' Shirley Bassey, I like Tina Turner Golden Eye, 'Nobody Does It Better' - Carly Simon, Duran Duran, Garbage is cheesy but I like both maybe I remember Sam an English guy got awards for Writings on the Wall, Tome Jomes and the From Russia with Love song, but I honestly cant remember it and another A-ha “The Living Daylights” also also good
