This List Ranks All 23 James Bond Theme Songs

From Nancy Sinatra to Jack White: Now you know which Bond song is best.

With the sad passing of Sir Roger Moore this week, there’s never been a better time to reflect on the cultural phenomenon of James Bond.

Though many people might like the franchise for its slick gadgets, swaggering spies, lush locations and beautiful women, we’ve always been more into its iconic theme songs. The series has attracted a star-studded list of musicians to lend their talents to its now famous opening credits sequences. Sir Paul McCartney, Carly Simon, Tina Turner and more have all helped to make James Bond films exactly what they are today.

So what better way than remembering Moore than by working through this handy list of the 23 best (and worst) Bond theme songs. High Snobiety has ranked ’em all for you. Read the list here. Before you do that, listen to one of our favorites below: Duran Duran’s synthy effort for A View To A Kill.
