And as a special treat, they'll all be sung by James Bond himself!

A little surprised to see TND that low. "Surrender" is obviously way better, but I don't dislike Crow's song. Not among my favorites, but I think it's fine.

Yeah, Moonraker is easily the weakest of the Bassey songs. Great vocals, but I've always found the song itself pretty bland.

Don't love the song, but I think Licence to Kill is easily the best of the 80s group. The chorus is meh, but I quite like the hook and the vocals.

A little surprised ”Another Way to Die” is above “Writing’s on the Wall” (which isn't great, but not that bad imo). It's actually in my bottom 3 - I don't think White/Keyes pair well together at all, I hate the barked out lyrics, and the song itself is just weirdly harsh sounding. Easily the worst of the Craig era songs for me.

I have kind of a soft spot for “The Man With the Golden Gun” – it sounds a little too much like a TV show theme song, but it's catchy and better than a lot of other Moore era songs.

That low for Thunderball??? That's a top 10 Bond song for me. Tom Jones sings the absolute hell out of it.

All Time High deserved better, and I'm that one guy that enjoyed Another Way to Die. Aside from that, everything is fine so far. Those bottom two are the correct choices.

How is "The Living Daylights” this high? I also have this in my bottom 3. Just a weird song in general, and probably the most painfully 80s sounding one along with "A View to a Kill."
