My absolute favourite is Nobody does it better.
I think Diamonds are forever would go nicely with your set. & maybe Goldfinger too. /peace Manki [Edited 6/23/06 12:35pm] | |

I vote for Sheryl Crow and Tina Turner. "When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

2.Live and Let Die - Paul McCartney (Live and Let Die)
3.Nobody Does It Better - Carly Simon (The Spy Who Loved Me) 1.Main title Theme from "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" - John Barry (it's too cool for vocals) anyone notice that a recent single by Jeniffer Lopez kind of rips of the song/music "you only live twice"?

I heard "Nobody Does It Better" on the radio the other day and it's probably my favorite Bond theme because I never really associated it with the movies (not that I dislike the movies). It doesn't have that signature kind of Bond theme to it that most of the songs do, which somtimes works but lately has been distracting (yes, Madonna I love you but good God). Give it up to Carly with "Diamonds Are Forever" and "For Your Eyes Only" also in the mix. | |

'Surrender' by k.d. lang - Should have been the main theme, instead of over the closing credits. | |

I can't express how much I love that song, and that movie, and that movie's main theme! The Incredibles recycled the vibe of that era bond. Even reused the main theme for their preview. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

My current favourite is "If There Was A Man" from The Living Daylights
also "Tomorrow Never Dies" by Sheryl Crow plus "Live And Let Die" | |
| - E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
I guess these are my favourites....
Nobody Does It Better Tomorrow Never Dies Live and Let Die A View to a Kill Madonna's song is a disgrace for the Bond series... and I can't even remember what the Garbage one sounds like?  | |
