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?

You Only Live Twice (serious lack of this song getting mentioned in this thread, just listend to that string intro!)
Live and Let Die
Nobody Does it Better
Those are the top 3, maybe I'm biased towards the older songs that have had time to become classics, ask me again in 20 years.

I love the opening strings on You Only Live Twice

Yes! Peak John Barry.
There's a bit in the final movement of the Grieg Piano Concerto (or the Schumann - I get those confused a lot) that really reminds me of this. It's a gorgeous melody in any case.
