Mar 13, 2024 · Daniel Craig's first outing as 007 was a hard reboot for the series, but Chris Cornell's Casino Royale theme song didn't match the film's bold new vision for the globetrotting spy. Instead of...

- Madonna - Die Another Day (2002) To meddle and play with the established musical conventions is something for which Madonna is proudly notorious, and similar tactics have been used ingeniously in the Bond franchise (see Garbage and Duran Duran for details), but with ‘Die Another Day’ Madonna meddled so much that she forgot to write a chorus.
- A-ha - The Living Daylights (1987) Gracelessly cavorting through the space opened up for them by Duran Duran, the usually impeccable A-ha really plumbed the depths of nothingness with ‘The Living Daylights’.
- Alicia Keys & Jack White - Another Way To Die (2008) This is definitely the most deeply odd Bond theme ever written and, in a weird way, that also makes it quite admirable, despite the quite vociferous critical reception it was given on release.
- Tom Jones - Thunderball (1965) With the elastic vocals and reputation as something of a romantic… err… adventurer… Tom Jones should’ve been the perfect choice for executing an iconic Bond theme.

- Rita Coolidge - 'All Time High' (Octopussy) Rita Coolidge - All Time High (The Theme Song From Octopussy) 1983. Yep, it's the one you probably forgot about and normally have to look up which film it was the theme tune for.
- Shirley Bassey - 'Moonraker' Moonraker - Shirley Bassey. Compared to Shirley Bassey's previous efforts ('Goldfinger' and 'Diamonds Are Forever'), this was a sadly forgettable theme.
- Lulu - 'The Man with the Golden Gun' The Man with the Golden Gun Opening Title Sequence. Another example of when the theme tune was one of the best parts of the movie in question, and this time it was Lulu's turn.
- Madonna - 'Die Another Day' Madonna - Die Another Day (Official Music Video) Disclaimer: We have a strange soft spot for this bonkers Bond theme from Madonna, but...
- “Writing’s on The Wall” by Sam Smith
- “Another Way to Die” by Jack White and Alicia Keys
- “You Know My Name” by Chris Cornell
- “No Time to Die” by Billie Eilish
- “Skyfall” by Adele
In keeping with Spectre being one of the most disappointing Bond movies ever made, Sam Smith’s “Writing’s on the Wall” is one of the series’ most disappointing theme songs. Stylistically, it’s a shallow attempt to replicate what worked so well in Adele’s Skyfalltheme, and it somehow managed to replicate Adele’s much more deserved Oscar win. Like mo...
The theme for Quantum of Solace, “Another Way to Die,” performed by the unlikely partnership of Jack White and Alicia Keys, is the first duet in the Bond series. White played the guitar, piano, and drums on the track, while Keys provided the vocals. The theme was met by a mixed response from fans and critics. It’s a perfectly catchy rock tune, but ...
When Craig’s Bond was introduced in Casino Royale, the producers recruited Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell to record his first theme song. Just as director Martin Campbell had to come up with a spy thriller that felt like a Bond movie while also reinvigorating the franchise with a darker, edgier sensibility, Cornell had to come up with an entirely new ...
With her theme song for No Time to Die, Billie Eilish became the youngest artist to write and record a Bond theme. The best Bond theme singers deftly blend the familiar style of classic Bond themes with their own distinctive musical sensibility. Eilish did this masterfully, combining the sharp minimalism of her own work with the operatic intensity ...
When the rock ‘n’ roll stylings of Cornell, White, and Keys had Bond fans worried that traditional Bond themes were a thing of the past, Adele came along with her signature R&B sound and delivered one of the series’ all-time greatest title tracks. “Skyfall” is a throwback to the dark, moody style of Shirley Bassey’s classic early Bond themes. This ...
" You Know My Name " is the theme song of the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale, performed by American musician Chris Cornell, who wrote and produced it jointly with David Arnold, the soundtrack's composer. The film producers chose Cornell because they wanted a strong male singer.
