I have to say the only one I don't like is the latest one from Adelle, I mean it's a rip-off totally derivative mailed-in song, don't care if it won an Oscar it's a joke!

I'm very nostalgic for the 80s and A View to a Kill is still my favorite.

I figured I'd be the only one who said that. I'm glad I'm not.

A View To A Kill is also one of my favourites.

Another one which I like which hasn't been specifically mentioned is For Your Eyes Only.

Skyfall. Seems to capture the essence of the James Bond Intro.

After reading this thread yesterday, I had to watch re-watch Skyfall last night on Netflix. Great Bond movie for sure.

they've released many. the most recent, which was released before Skyfall (lame movie, decent song), is "Best of Bond... James Bond (50th Anniversary Collection)".
