You Only Live Twice by John Barry, sung by Nancy Sinatra
(From the days when every Bond film had a stonkingly good title song, all of them still instantly recognisable today. Not to start a controversy but imo 'The Spy Who Loved Me' was the last one with a truly classic title song. Nobody did it better than John Barry.) May say more about your era of music and/or age - Adele was the biggest star in music and won an Oscar for the stunning Skyfall. Chris Cornell had the perfect theme for Casino Royale's gritty reboot with You Know My Name. Tina Turner's Goldeneye is a classic in line with the early Barry epics, as is Gladys Knight's Licence To Kill. Duran Duran, Aha, Garbage, Sheryl Crow, Sam Smith, Billie Eilish - Bond has captured the pop zeitgeist. But pop has changed since the 60s and 70s. For me there are only a few Bond theme duds - Rita Coolidge's All Time High as the nadir. Fair enough (though the 80s list did make me think 'yes my point is proven' ) So it won't surprise you I still think Connery is Bond?

I've not tried to be very original in my choices, just memorable tunes that I know for one reason or another. Though a folk song from Islay is probably new to most.
EDIT: 'Westering Home' isn't a genuine folk song at all, now I think about it, I think it was written around 1920-30. But it's in the folk tradition and the tune is older.

Commissioning a Symphony in C by Cake youtu.be/jRMgW8yzrac?si=xwgHw77N7J_H11DQEdit: The OP said this was a good way to find new music...is anyone listening to anything new to them or just posting? I’ve been making a point to listen in Spotify when I can, but it’s sometimes easier said than done. If YouTube links are shared I’ll do my level best!

There’s a horror movie called Alien? That’s really offensive. No wonder everyone keeps invading you.

I’ll Be Better by Umlala youtu.be/UqDMXGe0Yf4?si=OgVv3QJd9ZJATIGx(We licensed this song for the end credits to the final episode of our web series. The bouncy, rousing chorus came to represent all the catharsis of finishing a difficult project after living and breathing it for years; a feeling I return to time and time again.)

Nice Video, Shame About the Song
Probably the best New Romantic era music video ever made, the quintessence of the genre in every respect, from the name of the band 'Lufthansa Terminal' to the extraordinary lyrics to the style and staging of the video. {Spoiler} Except it was by the BBC Show 'Not the Nine O'Clock News' and it is of course a spoof. But it's brilliant!
