Music reviews of Best of Bond James Bond

Music Review: The Best Of Both Worlds A Cd that has every bond tune.
Rating: 5 Stars

1. The James Bond Theme-Monty Norman- Quite frankly the most instantainious recognisable and best known film theme. With that cool Guitar twang. This theme still holds up today. Unfortunately we will never know for sure who wrote this piece of music John Barry or Monty Norman. Goldfinger-Shirley Bassey- This song everybody knows by heart. The lyrics and Shirley Bassey's powerful voice were a perfect marriage of lyrics and performer. She truly had the midas touch. A+

3. Nobody Does It Better-Carley Simon- From the best of the Moore bonds comes one of the best songs on the CD. Carley Simon was perfect to sing this song. It was romantic and kind of sexy. at the time they thought Bond was vein enough to have a song Like Nobody does it better and they were right. A

4. View to a kill-Duran Duran-One of the few highlights from A View To A Kill. This very eighties sounding song has several thigns going for it. First the very cool guitar riff it has going on and the muisc and lyrics. B+

5. For Your Eyes Only-Shenna Easton- Easily the most serious Moore bond and his second best bond film. Unfortunately the song is kind of a dissapointment. The songs starts fine but after a while it would porbably put you to sleep a marginal effort. C+

6. We Have all the Time In The World-Louis Armstrong- A Very romantic song.For probably the most moving Bond Film. Sung with great warmth by Louis Armstrong. B+

7. Live And Let Die-Paul Mccartney & The Wings-This is one slambang title tune. this was one of Pauls few post beatle hits. Love the middle section of the song. Very rousing and very fun. B+

8. All Time High-Rita Coolidge-This song is probably one of the weakest songs in a bond film. Since the name of the film is Octopussy they changed the title of the sond. This movie more like a soft porn theme. Not Bond very forgettable. D+

9. The Living Dayligthts-A-HA- Another eighties song that while not one of the best songs. it is still a pretty good listen. This was a good song from the superior of the two Dalton films. B

10. License To Kill-Gladys Knight-While both Dalton films were getting a bad rap. They decided to get Gladys Knight to perform the song. While they could have used a little fresher talent. The song itself is decent but not as good as it could have been plus @ 5:13 the song is just a little to long. C

11. From Russia With Love-matt munro- The film did not have this song in the beggining instead it had a musical score. The only other 007 flick that had that was OHMSS but the song performed by Matt Munro quickly becomes tiresome a rank and file bond song.C+

12 Thunderball-Tom Jones-The camp factor is at an all time high with this song. But that is not a bad thing. With it's loud brassy style and big horns. This sond is just a Hoot and i dare you not to start singing along with Tom Jones. B+

13. You Only Live Twice-Nancy Sinatra- What can i say about this song except that this is the last of the truly great bond songs. Nancy Sinatra lulls you in to an almost dreamlike state with her hypnotic voice. A-

14 Moonraker-Shirley Bassey- The only performer to do three bond songs. This compares to Goldfinger or DAF. This song is kind of over indulgent and Not her best. C+

15 On Her Majestys Secret Service-John Barry- This is the second bond film to us a musical score instead of a song. Coming from John Barry this rock theme is rousing and a great listening. The best bond composer truly knew how to mix instramentals with rock themes. Very cutting edge B+

16. The man with the golden gun-:Lulu- This has to be the absolute worst bond song. The performer of any bond song should be kind of mysterious and sexy. But Lulu is none of those things. She it just to precious and way to spunky for Bond. D

17. Diamonds are forever-Shirley bassy- She was the best performer to sing a bond song. While this is no Goldfinger. DAF is none the less sexy and mysterious at the same time. B

18. Goldeneye-Tina Turner- For the first bond film of the 90's the producers brought out a wonderful talent Tina Turner. To sing the very sexy song Goldeneye. She channels and belts it out just like Shirley Bassey. The best bond song of the 90's B+

19. Tomorrow Never Dies-Sheryl Crow-Tomorrow Never dies is my favorite Brosnan bond. But this sond is not. Orignally they chose KD Lang to sing the title song. But went with Sheryl Crow last minute. Sheryl Crow is just two earthy for a bond song plus gets a little raspy towards the end. C

20 The World Is Not Enough-Garbage-This is one of the best Bond songs to be sung by a group. for sure. Lead singer Shirley Mason just like Tina Turner manages to channel The other Shirley(Bassey) That is pretty good. B

21. The James Bond Theme-Moby- While now a bit overused it is nonethe less a very good remix of the classic bond theme. Leave it up to moby to do this. B

22. James Bond Theme-Parody/Fair-Previously unreleased music from the trailer for Goldeneye. While not as good as Moby's Remix none the less a pretty solid effort although could have beent better. Love the Intro though. B-

I would reccomend this song for any Bond Fan. because some of the older songs are rather good and still hold up today.
