In general i like every soundtrack until the Brosnan years then they started using crappy singers and no-name groups. Quantum of Solstice was the final straw when they chose 2 hacks over Shirley Bassey. Also there's a version of Man With the golden gun sung by Alice Cooper.
Favorite James Bond Soundtracks?

John Barry's tunes, definitely. Nothing comes close.
Some of the less known ones that I like:
* Space March (Capsule in space). Awesome. Grand. Majestic. Foreboding ... and then it escalates in horror. Heard in You Only Live Twice and in some other movie too, I think.
* We have all the time in the world sung by Louie Armstrong at the end of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
* The instrumental tune by John Barry that is simply named "007". Featured in several of the Connery-era films. My favourite is in You Only Live Twice, but it is difficult to find on Youtube because of the generic name.
From Russia With Love Score ''007 Takes The Lektor''.
007 - John Barry (Bond And Beyond, 2012) [HQ Audio] -- Good version from a concert this year.

But I like the rejected theme for QoS, which better than the hack they did:

007 is a "less known" track?

Well ... not as known as the title songs or the James Bond Theme (Barry/Norman) anyway.
thumbsup:thumbsupYou think that's bad. Wait until you hear "Do you know how Christmas trees are grown?". It's only a background tune but MAN it doesn't leave your head! :lol

You Only Live Twice I would say is my favorite of the soundtrack albums as I think they hit a crescendo with it. It was Bond, yet different from what came before. Nancy Sinatra's main theme was also good.
Spy Who Loved Me is one of those weird ones that shouldn't be good as its disco track obviously places it in the late 1970s. But, it works and it is still Bond.
I also like Moonraker's John Barry score as well, especially the different version of the second Bond theme that played during the boat chase and the music that played during the brutal fight between astronauts with laser guns (imho, perhaps the single most brutal group fight of all the Bond films since it took place in unforgiving space). Its a pity that the soundtrack album that was released seems so short as it didn't have any extras on it like some of the others.

Wrong decision indeed.' Surrender' was much more 'Bond-like'.

Am I the only one who prefers Sheryl Crow's theme?
Mind you, I have nothing against k.d. lang's take on the theme, but I found it to be a typical cliche Bond theme (not that that's always in itself a bad thing), and I don't know why it seems to be universally preferred. I quite like the Sheryl Crow theme, and I actually prefer it because it's not as stereotypically "bond-like".
Actually, a lot of my favourites are the songs that manage to be Bond themes without screaming it.

Has anyone heard Thomas Newman's Skyfall soundtrack? For me, it was ok. I wish David Arnold did the music for this one.

All the Barrys are great. None of the others are.
The same goes pretty much for the title songs, except for Macca and Carly Simon.
