I was reminded of Dick Clark the other day, and more specifically his line that music is the soundtrack of our lives. I started to think about what would be the soundtrack of the lives of the actors who played James Bond.

I thought it would be a neat excercise to start thinking about some music that would be on the soundtrack to Sean Connery's life. Of course it would include music from his movies that were important to his career, but it also might include songs that have nothing to do with his movies but seem to work with him as a person.

For example, some of the tracks that I would include on Sean Connery's soundtrack would be "The James Bond Theme" (duh), "Under the Mango Tree," "Who Wants to Live Forever," "The Theme from The Untouchables," and "My Heart's in the Highlands."

Feel free to add some more music, in fact I hope you do. I will put up similar threads for each of the other Bond actors every couple of days.

Very interesting question, Xen. Just to add a few onto it:

"Call Me the Breeze" - Lynyrd Skynyrd
"Jamaica" - BTO
"Learnin' to Fly" - Tom Petty
"No One Like You" - The Scorpions
