Leonard Cohen has passed away. May he rest in peace.

Anyone has a favourite Leonard Cohen song?

Anyone has a favourite Leonard Cohen song?

Although I've never been a huge on Cohen, I feel saddened by his departure. 2016 is Annus Horribilis for music for sure. As to a favorite song, I really enjoy his last album, and the title song is probably my favorite - You want it darker

Anyone has a favourite Leonard Cohen song?

Hard to pick a favourite, as it very much depends on my state of mind and inner feelings. So many absolute masterpieces...Dance Me to the End of Love, So long Marianne, Tower of Song, Sisters of Mercy, Boogie Street, the list goes on
...and his last album, wow ! If I Didn't Have Your Love strikes me very deep!

I am in the moment listening to his Live in London 2008 concert, pure bliss.

May he be in peace, in the heaven of his choice, probably surrounded by beautiful female angels [:)]

Inspired by Warspite's list, I have a top three songs recorded by artists shortly before their passing. A tad grim perhaps, but great music nontheless.

3. Leonard Cohen - You want it darker
2. Johnny Cash - Hurt
1. David Bowie - Lazarus

Tom Odell - Another Love

DEVO - Are we not men?

Sheryl Crow has been through quite a bit in her life...

Next up on the Officially official list of all time Bond themes, and just missing out on the top 10 we have:

Number 11:

A View To a Kill – Duran Duran (A View To a Kill – 1985)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3pQDMi4W-g

Hardly their best effort, but a solid enough number to be included here. The film was just awful however....

I see she sang on Don Henley's In the Garden of Allah [&o]

Can't post the song though [&:]

Nice car
Ah, I love those bavarians
So meticulous
Y'know I remember when things were a lot more fun around here
When good was good and evil was evil
Before things got so fuzzy
I was once a golden boy like you
And I was summoned to the halls of power in the heavenly courts
And I dined with the deities who looked upon me with favor,
For my talents, my creativity
And we sat beneath the palms
In the warm afternoons and drank the wine
With fitzgerald and huxley
And they pawned the biting phrase from the tongues hot with blood
And drained their pins of bitter ink
Vainly reaching for the bottle full of empty edens
Branded especially for the ones who had come with great expectations
To the perfumed halls of Allah, for their time in the sun

So to the Top 10 of the offic... yeah you get the drill by now.

One of only two toons from the sixties to make it.

Number 10

Goldfinger – Shirley Bassey (Goldfinger 1964)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy_PJODH3p0

This has to be included because it is synonymous with the Bond genre. Bassey - what a voice!

And as Chickenboy says: Goldfinger wah wah waaaaaaaaaaah

Yet, in my humble opinion, is far from the worst.

5- Diamonds Are Forever - "Diamonds Are Forever" (1971)

Shirley Bassey vocals.
A Innuendo in the lyrics??
Ties with "Live and let Die" for the best Bond movie

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4sYk6abId8



4 -Goldfinger – "Goldfinger" (1964)

Shirley Bassey vocals
Jimmy Page on GITAR

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy_PJODH3p0



3 -A View To a Kill – "A View To a Kill" (1985)

Duran Duran
Song way better than the movie. Best beat song in a Bond movie.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3pQDMi4W-g



2 -Nobody Does It Better - "The Spy Who Loved Me" (1977)

Carly Simon
Best voice in a Bond song and best looking Russian agent XXX

Shirley Bassey hits with a strong force but Carly Simon pulls you in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wy-c8aAntWA



1 - Live and Let Die - "Live and Let Die" (1973)

written by Paul and Linda McCartney and performed by Paul's band Wings
Most powerful Bond song and one of the best Bond films, ties with "Diamonds Are Forever".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sn8alMYSu44



The newer Bond songs are....forgettable.
The newer Bond films are too political correct, too serious,.... and CGI centered.

Thank you.... Mish Moneypenny.....

Okay folks, back to the Official Bestest 12 James Bond themes.

Fun Factoid: The lyrics for this song were actually written about me [:)] - oh hold on... or was that I'm a W****r?
