    Interesting that the first and the last composers are the most despised. After Legrand of course.

    I'm surprised that Burt Bacharach is on his way out. It is a classic 60s soundtrack.

    Norman/Newman get compared with their successor/predecessor which are apparently very popular. Hence why they are the nost maligned I think. Understandably so in the case of Barry. Arnold was good, not great. CR and QOS were outstanding jobs, TND very decent, TWINE and DAD not very memorable at all. Pretty average on the whole IMHO.

    Come In 007, Your Time Is Up
    or
    Hovercraft Chase
    or
    Backseat Driver

    each track is better than the whole Newman Bond catalogue.
