I think Skyfall is a great Bond song that encapsulates the key ingredients really well and is definitely a top 10 effort in the field of Bond songs. Our 4:3 poll however is more in tune with what i would have expected in terms of result. Thinking about this as a whole I feel the somewhat skewed ITV result may be because of many people thinking of their favourite Bond/Bond film from their childhood, rather than considering it purely as a musical question on its own.
I went for: 1. Goldfinger 2. Live and Let Die 3. A View To A Kill 4. Nobody Does It Better
I feel the worst songs are : Tomorrow Never Dies' - Sheryl Crow (1997) The World is Not Enough' - Garbage (1999) Die Another Day' - Madonna (2002) You Know My Name' - Chris Cornell (2006) (Casino Royal) Another Way to Die' - Jack White & Alicia Keys (2008)

Another Way to Die' - Jack White & Alicia Keys (2008) I don't mind "You Know My Name". It was the first theme tune sung by a male vocalist since "Thunderball" by Tom Jones. A big tune that attempted to put a stamp on the start of Daniel Craig's tenure as James Bond. However, it's not the best, and won't be in my top 4 choices as there's better.

Agree with you Windy regarding the song.Â
I think the Casino Royale titles with the playing cards theme are absolutely stunning. The best effort since the sixties films.
