James Bond's greatest hits - and biggest misses

"Diamonds are forever, hold one up and then caress it. Touch it, stroke it and undress it..."

John Barry and Don Black's tune may have been considered too near the knuckle by producer Harry Saltzman, but it still won the duo an Ivor Novello songwriting award. One of Black's proudest moments was being told by director Steven Spielberg how highly he rated the track.Highest UK chart position:"If this ever-changing world in which we're living makes you give in and cry, say live and let die..."Subsequently covered by Guns N' Roses, it was the first James Bond theme to be nominated for the best original song Oscar.

The track - which only charted in the UK after being used in a 1994 beer commercial - is not played over the opening credits, appearing instead during a romantic montage midway through the movie.

Pretty accurate. You’ve even got my all time fave from OHMSS. We Have All The Time in The World by Louis Armstrong. JamesBond NoTimeToDie

Personally, I love ‘Tomorrow never dies’ and ‘You know my name’ from Casino Royale.

A-ha had the best one thelivingdaylights

Got to be: 1. 'Live and Let Die' (Wings) 2. 'Goldfinger' (Shirley Bassey) 3. 'Nobody Does It Better' (Carly Simon) - 'The Spy who Loved Me' 4. ' A View to a Kill' (Duran Duran) 5. 'Licence to Kill' (Gladys Knight)

Die Another Day best ever

Live and Let Die is overrated. Skyfall is underrated. Best Bond song that wasn't a Bond song....

How in the hell do you list 'All Time High' and 'For Your Eyes Only' as the worst!? Turn in your British passport, at once! You must be working for SPECTRE!

The Garbage one was pretty good.
