It goes without saying that the Bond movies are classic - the songs probably don't measure up to par with the movies but there are definitely some good soundtracks to the movies. My top 10 list for Agent 007 are:
10: You Only Live Twice - Nancy Sinatra did a nice job with putting together a song that blended in well with the movie and overall 007 theme.
9: On Her Majesty's Secret Service - a good instrumental that just like the movie might be a little under the radar but it quality.
8: The World is Not Enough - Garbage picks up the slack for one of the sub-par Bond movies
7: A View To a Kill - Duran Duran stayed relevant with another one of their catchy tunes
6: GoldenEye - written by Bono and The Edge and sung by Tina Turner-- just a good all around 'everything' combo
5: Thunderball - Tom Jones doing it right for Mr Shaken, but not Stirred...Two pantie dropping studs teaming up - Thanks Connery and Tom Jones!
4: James Bond Theme Song! DUH!
3: Goldfinger - A killer voice from Shirley Bassey provides for a powerful song with some memorable notes held for a song that just sticks in your head to make for a great 007 song.
2: Nobody Does It Better - Carly Simon definitely hits the spot - enough that Radiohead has even covered this bad boy too!
1: Live and Let Die - by Sir Paul and the Wings! The song would later be re-done by Guns n' Roses with equal ferocity and conviction!
There are some honorable mention songs that might make the list if they stand the test of time but recent contributions include Soundgarden's Chris Cornell on Casino Royale with his song 'You Know My Name' and the Jack White/Alicia Keys contribution of 'Another Way To Die' on the Quantum of Solace movie.
