What Is The Greatest Bond Theme of All-Time?

What Is The Greatest Bond Theme of All-Time?

Author: Rich Price and Clint Bierman March 19, 2024 Duration: 53:44
In this episode, Rich and Clint go deep on the world of James Bond themes. There have been 25 "official" James Bond films, and each one features an iconic opening credits theme. Through the years, the Bond theme is a time capsule of its time, featuring a band or artist of its era, from Shirley Bassey and Tom Jones of the 60s, Paul McCartney and Carly Simon of the 70s, Duran Duran in the 80s, Madonna and Tina Turner/U2 in the 90s, and artists like Adele, Jack White, Sam Smith and Billie Eilish in the 21st Century.

Ever found yourself in a late-night argument about whether a guitar solo was technically brilliant or just self-indulgent, or if a beloved classic is actually overrated? You're not alone. The Age Old Question: A Podcast for Music Fans lives in those wonderfully contentious spaces. Hosts Rich Price and Clint Bierman, with a mix of genuine curiosity and good-natured humor, dive into the debates that music lovers have had for decades, the kind that never seem to get a definitive answer. They don't just rehash old opinions; they bring in friends, musicians, and genuine experts to add depth, history, and sometimes a completely unexpected perspective to the conversation. Each episode of this podcast feels like joining a smart, funny conversation among friends who are as passionate about the nuances of a chord progression as they are about the cultural impact of a band. It’s for anyone who’s ever passionately defended a genre, questioned a lyric, or wondered why a particular artist divides a room. Listen for thoughtful analysis, plenty of laughs, and the joyful pursuit of settling music's great mysteries, even if just for the length of an episode. This is part of the Pantheon Podcasts network.
