So you can already rank those 5 ;-). Plus 5 more hehe
I found it just a very....'American' soundtrack with just a few James Bond Theme queues. I must say I like it more than David Arnold's "QOS".
Kamen's rendition of the Bond theme is big and muscular. Loved it when I was younger. Must revisit it soon.
It definitely had a Die Hard/Lethal Weapon feel, thanks to Kamen being involved with all.
10-The Living Daylights
8-Skyfall
7-Goldfinger
6-Casino Royale
5-Quantum of Soalce
4-From Russia With Love
3-On Her Majesty's Secret Service
2-Die Another Day
1-The World Is Not Enough
LOVE Tomorrow Never Dies after the Goldeneye score. Arnold threw every Barry cue in that he could and it makes up for the lack of Bond sound on GE. Listen to the score only on the TND blu/dvd and you'll see how perfect it accentuates every thing!
A certain bias could seep in if that were the case, I would think. It would probably be preferable if the community through participation decide what gets top billing, imho.
Regarding the poll - @Gustav_Graves, it may be just a little too complicated or time consuming to tally the votes and type it up in each line along with the (in some cases) title. People usually prefer just a straight rank. @Thunderfinger showed how it could be done in abbreviated fashion easily but most are typing the whole thing up.

In the worst cases (GE & TSWLM) they actually harm the film, in some cases it’s just like “Was there a score in this film..??” (SF, anayone..?)
