Sophisticated Cunning

Duran Duran were originally chosen to record the theme for A View To Kill – written in collaboration with composer John Barry - after bassist John Taylor approached director Cubby Broccoli at a party.

The track sees the band's trademark 80s electro collide with the lavish and sophisticated cunning found in many of the franchise's theme songs.

Other artists whose songs made the top-ten in the Gigwise survey included Nancy Sinatra and Tina Turner.

Meanwhile, Jack White and Alicia Keys' track for the new Bond movie Quantum of Solace rounded off the top-ten.

The song, entitled 'Another Way To Die', has already proved popular with Bond fans ahead of the movie's UK release tomorrow.
