Oscar® Winner

Taking Christian Clemmenson's lead...A small James Bond questionaire -
What are your top five favorite James Bond scores?
What is your least favorite?
What is your favorite Bond song?
Who would you like to hear sing a Bond song that hasn't already?
Here are my answers:
Favorite Bond scores - 1) You Only Live Twice, 2) Moonraker, 3) On Her Majesty's Secret Service, 4) Goldfinger, 5) A View to a KillLeast favorite Bond score - For Your Eyes Only (Conti)
Favorite song - Surrender (k.d. lang) tie with Goldfinger (Shirley Bassey)
To sing a Bond theme - I think Annie Lennox would be a great theme chanteuse

Because it's been forever since I last saw an "old school" Bond movie, I would have to say not that "TND" is my favorite Bond score. But in a few hours that might change

Favotite Song: Surrender (kd Lang)--Crono/Kyp

2) Goldfinger
3) The Living Daylights
4) For Your Eyes Only
5) Tomorrow Never DiesWorst: Goldeneye... although Tina's song was great.
Best Song: Goldfinger
I want to hear Jamiroquai... just because I like his music and I believe he would add something new to the series of themes.

Hmmmm... my favorites? Geeesh, this is a hard one.Top 6 Favorite Bond Scores:
1) TND Expanded 2) The Living Daylights 3) You Only Live Twice 4) License to Kill 5) Goldfinger 6) A View To A Kill
My Least Favorite Score: Live and Let Die (yuck)
My Favorite Bond Song: Surrender (K.D. Lang)
To Sing a Bond Song: I was hoping for K.D. Lang to come back... but oh well. A new person? Hmmmm... "They Might Be Giants." I liked what they did with "Dr. Evil" for Austin 2.

Ack, this is a hard question! Ok, here we go then:5 Fave Bond scores--
5) You only live Twice
4) Living Daylights
3) A View to a Kill
2) Tomorrow Never Dies
1) Goldfinger
Least fave Bond score--Goldeneye. While it does grow on me the more I listen to it, it's not a bond score IMHO.

Fave Bond song--Haha, A View to a Kill probably. Or, if you want a classic Bond choice, Goldfingaaaa!.
Surrender is also awesome!
Who would you like to hear sing a Bond song that hasn't already?-Argh, hardest question for last. Hmmmm, I have no idea you know. Perhaps David Arnold should sing it! heehehe

The Spy Who Loved MeFavorite Bond Song: Live and Let Die by Paul McCartney
Freddie Murcury, Lead Singer of "Queen" (not going to happen because he is no longer with us) would be the ultimate male vocalist for any Bond song.

Okay, having just listened to THE WORLD IS NOT ENOUGH, I will have to add that to my list. Wow! This score packs a punch. I love the fast beats to the action sequences and the Bond theme. I only wish there was more of the bond theme in this. Oh well, other than that, I can't complain. All I can do is listen more and more and get in the perfect mood for this movie's release on the 19th.

I have only one favorite Bond score -- Goldfinger.Surprise, surprise my favorite song is Goldfinger. Fow whatever its worth, Goldfinger was the first soundtrack album I bought when the movie was first released in 1964.
