The
James Bond movie franchise, which follows everyone's favorite British
MI6 secret service agent, has produced some
amazing them songs over the years.
One thing they never seem to have a shortage of is top names to perform the songs. Top artists at
the time or legendary singers such as Tom Jones, Tina Turner, Paul McCartney and Madonna are just a few who
have stretched their vocal chords on Bonds behalf. But while some songs have struck great chords with people
such as Duran Duran's "A View to a Kill" which reached the #1 spot on the
billboard
charts, others in my opinion fail to inspire or live up to greatness of past songs.
Before I give my vote for the worst bond movie theme song, lets do a quick review of the songs that are part of the Bond
franchise.

Casino Royale | You Know My Name | here |
Quantum Of Solace | Another Way to Die | here |
Now that we have this out of the way, in my opinion, the WORST bond movie theme song to date is....
Another way to die by Jack White and Alicia Keys.
I just find nothing memorable about it. Perhaps it's the style which seems very detached from the others. Granted Madonna's Die Another
Day seemed different from past themes but it was at least a stronger song. If this last film had not come out I would probably be putting
the tag of worst bond movie theme onto the band A-Ha for their song The Living Daylights. Again, just not a memorable song in my book. And I
played two instruments in my life time so I have a pretty good ear for what works and what does not.
