    Quantum of Solace is a great one from Arnold too in my opinion. "Night at the Opera" is a fabulous piece that John Barry would be proud of I think. Most of Barry's other work for the series was top notch too, these are just my personal favourites. The first two on the list are stone cold classics in my opinion. A masterclass in composition and performance, elegance and style.

    For OOBeast - one of the best Bond themes is the one Frank Sinatra was asked to sing but as he was busy in Las Vegas he sent his daughter Nancy to sing instead - You Only Live Twice. And OOBeast please check out the Sinatra comments I sent you on OHMSS Very Over-rated.

    Although a cover, I really like Bjork's version of this.

    ....I agree!!! Bjork is a great talent, and along with David Arnold who she's worked with before, could have a stab at Bond one day!? IF.... Either of them are ever invited too, or in DA's case invited BACK!? :-B

    i think Arnold will be invited back... going with Newman was Mendes choice.. David still seems to have a great relationship with EON (and even with Mendes - just not a working one).. Arnold is apparently going to be doing some 50th anniversary work for them as well - just not Skyfall.
