Post #007- Charlie's Top Seven Bond Songs

The James Bond series has been around since 1962's Dr. No. Each of its 24 films has a unique theme song. Collectively these songs, as mentioned in the previous Oscars post, have created almost their own genre of music. I have decided to rank my top "007" of these themes.

1. On Her Majesty's Secret Service, John Barry- This is one of two, the other being the original James Bond Theme from Dr. No, to be completely orchestral. It is absolutely classic sounding Bond too. Part of this theme was even used in the first trailer for the 24th installment, Spectre
2. Skyfall, Adele- The first Bond theme to win an Oscar, it brought the series' themes back to the style they once were
3. Live and Let Die, Paul McCartney and Wings- This theme brought a new trend of bringing rock and roll into the series which brought a lot of commercial success to the films themes.
4. The Living Daylights, A-ha- This theme is perhaps the most upbeat of the series and very catchy 
5. A View to a Kill, Duran Duran- The first, and currently only Bond theme to hit number one in the US, this theme revitalized the rock and roll nature of the series themes
6. Goldfinger, Shirley Bassey- A staple of the Bond Themes, this is quintessential Bond and one of the most recognizable of the series
7. Nobody Does it Better, Carly Simon- Like Goldfinger, this is another fan favorite. It too was a top ten hit in both the UK and US.

There you have it, the top 007 Bond themes. To hear these, and the rest of the 24 themes (with the exception of one because apparently For Your Eyes Only has some crazy copyrighting) to the Bond franchise, take a gander at this week's Spotify playlist.
