    Shaken Not Stirred. 11 Best James Bond Theme Songs EVER

    With Sam Smith becoming the latest superstar to pen a James Bond theme song, we take a look back at some of the best soundtracks from the 007 franchise.

    1. Skyfall Adele Art Work

      1. 1. Adele - 'Skyfall'

      This is probably the most well known of all the James Bond songs ever made so what better place to start. The single was released back in 2012 to promote the film of the same name.

    2. Paul McCartney

      2. 2. Paul McCartney & Wings - 'Live And Let Die'

      Macca delivered one of the most memorable Bond tunes with the fast paced catchy hit. It was released in 1973 along with Roger Moore's first outing as 007.

    3. Garbage

      3. 3. Garbage - 'The World Is Not Enough'

      If you were born in the 90s, then Pierce Bronsnan was YOUR James Bond. This Garbage track accompanied Pierce's penultimate Bond film.

    4. hall of fame

      4. 4. Tom Jones - 'Thunderball'

      Tom Jones sang the theme tune to the fourth Bond film ever: 'Thunderball'. The song gave Jones a platform to show off that BOOMING voice of his.

    5. Sheryl Crow singing

      5. 5. Sheryl Crow - 'Tomorrow Never Dies'

      When the 90s was in full swing, Sheryl Crow was all the rage. The American guitarist sang the unforgettable soundtrack to Pierce Brosnan's second film as 007. Picture: PA

    6. Die Another Day

      6. 6. Madonna - 'Die Another Day'

      Not only did Madonna write and sing the theme tune for James Bond's 'Die Another Day', she also starred in one of the scenes! Oh Madge we do love you.

    7. Alicia Keys performing on stage

      7. 7. Alicia Keys & Jack White - 'Another Way To Die'

      This one went under the radar a little however the awesome pairing of Jack White and Alicia Keys should never be forgotten.

    8. Tina Turner

      8. 8. Tina Turner - 'Goldeneye'

      You probably remember this movie more for the N64 computer game than anything else. However Tina Turner's 'Goldeneye' soundtrack will remain as one of the greatest ever!

    9. Chris Cornell

      9. 9. Chris Cornell - 'You Know My Name'

      Chris Cornell has played with and in some of the greatest rock acts ever made. Audioslave, Soundgarden and Alice Cooper to name a few. It only made sense for the American rocker to pen a gnarly tune for the world's most famous spy.

    10. Shirley Bassey

      10. 10. Shirley Bassey - 'Goldfinger'

      We all know it and we ALL love it. Shirley Bassey's 1964 classic from the film of the same name will go down in history as not just one of the best Bond tracks but one of the movie songs #Fact.

    11. Sam Smith Writings On The Wall James Bond Spectre

      11. 11. Sam Smith - 'Writing's On The Wall'

      An instant classic! Sam Smith truly delivered on the big stage for his 'Spectre' soundtrack.
