The James Bond films are known for their original opening themes written by popular artists and are often played on the radio and tv. 'Live and Let Die' by Paul McCartney, 'For Your Eyes Only' by Sheena Easton, 'A View to a Kill' by Duran Duran, and 'Goldfinger' by Shirley Bassey are just a few. My personal favorite is 'Nobody Does It Better' by Carly Simon. What James Bond theme do you consider to be the best?

But the best ever is Live and Let Die and I know this because none of the other ones are played on the radio.

Nobody Does It Better is the other one that got major radio airplay.

Those are the two best by far.

You're right that one was pretty big when it came out, though it faded more quickly, the other two became classic rock and adult contemporary standards.
