It has to be included in the mainline EON franchise, so sorry to rejected themes like Radiohead/Muse/Lana Del Rey/Johnny Cash/Pulp/Blondie/Ace of Base and the rest that didn't make the cut - you just get honorable mentions. And this is the theme on its own merit, the film can be lacklustre or amazing; as long as the theme is your favourite. It doesn't hurt if it is attached to a top tier Bond film though...

It's a hard one for sure but my top five in no particular order would probably be Shirley Bassey's Diamonds are Forever/Goldfinger, Wings' Live and Let Die, Carly Simon's Nobody Does it Better, and Nancy Sinatra's You Only Live Twice. If I absolutely had to choose one I'd lean into Goldfinger.Sean Connery Era

I do consider Goldeneye, Skyfall, You Know My Name as upper tier themes. Then there's a big draw from quite a few others, then you descend into the bad ones. I didn't name Dr No's Bond theme in my favourites because it is kind of cheating since it is the series' overall orchestral theme going forwards.
But honestly my ranking could change day to day, but what is your favourite Bond theme?
