13. Gladys Knight: 'Licence To Kill' (Licence To Kill, 1989) – With bold orchestrations and Knight's powerful vocals, 'Licence To Kill' was the hardest-hitting and most traditional Bond theme since Shirley Bassey's 'Moonraker' a decade earlier. The song was a top ten hit and was chosen ahead of an Eric Clapton penned song. John Barry temporarily abandoned composing duties as he underwent throat surgery, with Michael Kamen stepping in.

- I concur - lame. I didn't even get a chance to vote. I wanted to vote for AVTAK by Duran.
- Oh - I take back the "lame" part - I thought the first one I saw was supposed to be the best. Yay - it's Duran Duran. As it should be. Even my mom loves this song!
- I was disappointed I didn't get to vote but I see it doesn't matter because my favorite won! Yay Duran Duran!!!
- A View to a Kill without question. Best theme song, best band. :D
