    We had a topic about this on the old forums:

    Please post songs which are in the style of bond (but no james bond soundtracks or bond related stuff) or which simply give you a bondian feeling :)



    PS: I put it in the movies category, but this topic doesn't really fit in any category, maybe in a "general bond"

    Australian progg-rockers Karnivool has a song that reeks of Bond:


    And electropop artist Goldfrapp has a more calmer song but still got that Bond swag:

    I often think about this when I hear a song on the radio.
    @forgotmyusername I saw them once in a festival, when I was a teenager. This music still gives me chills, so cool!
    Thievery corporation, yeah! And Goldfrapp was a favourite of mine for a Bond-theme for ages.

    A few years ago there was a portuguese band called Bullet that made an album called "Torch Songs for Secret Agents", inspired by classic spy films. You get the idea, right?

    On a more mainstream level, Bulletproof by La Roux was once described as the Bond song for the new generation. However I think In for the kill is much more Bond. Sorry I can't post the links but I can't even watch your links because I'm in Germany! Lucky me :(

    god no, Adele is boring, fat and mainstream. Lets get a upbeat catchy song like the living daylights or goldeneye. the QoS theme song by Alecia Keyes was bad enough, im tired of mainstream thrash.

    Woman Like Me, the song towards the end of The Pink Panther (with Steve Martin) that Beyonce Knowles sings, sounds a lot like a Bond song, especially the beginning orchestra of it:

    Every time I hear the song Set Fire to the Rain, I just feel like it would be (lyrics aside, maybe) a perfect Bond song. The epic sound of it, I think, especially makes me think that.

    The Taylor Swift song, Keep Your Eyes Open seems like a Bondian song for a more serious Bond film.

    This will be shut down by Admin sooner or later but wasn't there some other guy who was always on about Thievery Corporation some time back? No harm done or anything

    Said it before on the actual pages for this that I would of liked to have seen -

    Echo and The Bunnymen / The Killing Moon

    Depeche Mode - and you can take your pick - People are People, I feel You, Everything Counts, Personal Jesus even

    Genesis / Land of Confusion, that would certainly be vibrant..

    Nirvana / Come as you are

    The Police / Invisible Sun

    Thunderclap Newman / Something In The Air

    (maybe I went astray with one or two but I did think long and hard about this just now)

    oh boy, i'll probably get shellacked for some of my choices here...... lol... but here it goes - head firmly on the chopping block......

    "I Can't Live Without Music" by Corinna Mary...... just ignore the anime bits lol..


    I heard this song way back, probably around 2001 or 2002, and i thought it would've fit the Brosnan run perfectly.... i mean, it already has better lyrics, and more catchy beat than DAD by Madonna lol

    "Good Enough" by Evanescence (well, mainly just Amy Lee, a piano, and orchestra lol)


    I love the subtly to this song... it's very mellow, and relaxed.... reminds me of taking Nobody Does It Better and Moonraker and mashing them together..

    "If You Call" by Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings


    has an old school vibe - plus the simply guitar arrangement has a nice Bond touch to it..

    "Uno" by Muse


    it bit more rock sounding than what is expected in a traditional Bond song... but with the current Craig run of films, i think this style fits... again, some nice guitar moments, really bring out a Bondian vibe..

    "The Masterplan" by Oasis


    suggested to me by a friend (who is a big oasis fan).. this song does have a certain Bond quality to it... subtle, but it's there... I am currently using it as the theme for my own fanfic.

    Thanks, yes, it is mine. :) And Yeah, it really fits with a Bond theme, I agree with you. :)
