I found I can't even rank them or pick out the best...I really like all of the Moore and Connery ones for different reasons.

Things I love: Batman, Superman, AEW, old films, Lovecraft
Grant Morrison: “Adults...struggle desperately with fiction, demanding constantly that it conform to the rules of everyday life. Adults foolishly demand to know how Superman can possibly fly, or how Batman can possibly run a multibillion-dollar business empire during the day and fight crime at night, when the answer is obvious even to the smallest child: because it's not real.”
No love for A View to a Kill? Horrible movie. Catchy tune.
It's not an opening but I liked the Louis Armstrong song from On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
Skyfall is the best Craig-era theme.
Still the best music to show up in the opening of a Bond film.
In no particular order:
Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney for Live and Let Die - Sir Paul McCartney + Bond = Awesome
You Know My Name by Chris Cornell for Casino Royale - I'm a big fan of Cornell, and Casino Royale is an amazing movie.
Goldfinger by Shirley Bassey for Goldfinger - Simply iconic
Honourable Mention: The Bond style cover of Love Me Harder by Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox
The original is by Ariana Grande, and it has never actually been a Bond theme. Nevertheless, the PMJ cover with Christina Gatti on vocals is amazing. It feels like a Bond theme, and I could happily listen to Christina Gatti any time. Check it out on youtube.
Skyfall
You Know my Name
The World is not enough
Live and Let Die
Thunderball
Goldfinger
This. But I'll go a head and put them in order for me.
- You know My Name - Casino Royale (Chris Cornell) - I am, and have always been, a huge Soundgarden fan. And Chris Cornell specifically.
- Live And Let Die - Live And Let Die (Paul McCartney & Wings) - Not only one of my favorite Bond songs, but one of my favorite Rock songs as well.
- Goldfinger - Goldfinger (Shirley Bassie) - as said by mikelmcknight72 "simply iconic". I can't really add much to that.
I hope I shall possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.
- George Washington
"Goldeneye"
"Gold Finger"
"Die Another Day"
"Skyfall"
I am completely biased though since I am head over heels for Tina, Madonna and Adele.
Emma Frost, Rogue, Felicia Hardy, Helena Bertinelli, Allison Blaire, Barbara Gordon, Monica Rambeau, Carol Danvers, Illyana Rasputin, Ororo Munroe, Harleen Quinzel, Lorna Dane, Irene Adler, Kate Kane, Rachel Grey Summers, Jean Grey, Diana Prince, Barbara Ann Minerva, Donna Troy, Jennifer Walters, Gwen Stacy, Wanda Maximoff = PERFECTION!
Take my dreams, childish and weak at the seams
Please don't analyze, please just be there for me
The Bond theme's been a part of several of the other themes as well-From Russia With Love uses it in the second half of the opening, Goldfinger and Thunderball weave it in as well. It kind of vanished from the opening themes for a while I think, but "Goldeneye" and later "Skyfall" brought it back I think.
Unofficial (cos it's from a game, not a movie), I proper love this one...
Skyfall is giving me goose bumps every time I hear it so I will definitely go with that one
