    He believes GF to be the be-all end-all Bond movie.

    I can tell. It's how each game has gone so far for him, it seems. You can't talk about something being overrated and completely negate bringing up GF.

    Regarding the title songs, I must confess I am completely on Sirseanisbond's side... for a change... Goldfinger is a timeless masterpiece. AVTAK is a Product of it's generation, but is not really that special and has aged badly IMO. It's certainly not a classic piece of music... from mye point of view anyway...

    If FRWL goes before GE, I'll lose all my last drops of faith in humanity... A sophisticated, brilliantly arranged and harmonically rich masterpiece, versus a bitch mumbling over some boring, dated techno beat. Come on!

    I love the FRWL instrumental. It's catchy and as you say a brilliant arrangement. I love the use of the Bond theme toward the end.
    Much better than GE, which I find dull as dishwater.
    "You'll never know, how I'd like for you to stop singing!."

    I've been a very keen devotee of Bond (and in fact many film) soundtracks since for as long as I can remember having an interest in films and have original vinyls for TSWLM, MR, the especially loved 10th anniversary celebratory double album, AVTAK and LTK!! Am I showing my age here? For me, FRWL is a close second to OHMSS at the top of iconic Bond soundtracks rather than GF but along the way I really like AVTAK and GE so I'm as mixed up in my preferences as the way some voting is going here!! I certainly don't detest any single track or artist and will still savour every note when I listen to a Bond compilation without skipping a track. There's just separation between one that is preferred more!!

    I wouldn't have issue about somebody's purely subjective preferences for particular tracks but feel more uncomfortable about scathing comments about a song, artist or Mi6community poster expressing views! As the title of the thread states, it's a game...

    And I realise I took far too long to discover the masterpiece that is the OHMSS score after discovering an import CD off ebay nearly 15 years ago - virtually my first ebay purchase! I especially love 'Over and Out' and picture perfect an image in my mind of Draco in the helicopter!!

    @andmcit we have an edit button.
    Please do not double post. Thanks

    The OHMSS score is pure magic! It might be one of the main reasons why the film as a whole is such a classic.

    Sorry did I? Missed that so if you've edited it for me, thanks - despite what many may try and pretend, there's never enough space on a smart phone screen... :))

    Or do you mean merging different points? That's not strictly a 'double post' is it?

    He means that when you make a post, there's no need to post yet again, unless it's a bump/new piece of information/etc. after a considerable amount of time. If you post and have something to add 20 or 30 minutes later, simply edit that original post and add it in, as it will still be the most recent post everyone sees when they enter the thread.

    OK but how do I delete the redundant thread after I merge points - I only get edit as an option?

    I think once we've gotten to the point where every song has a score of 21 or higher, I'll reduce every score by ten points to speed up proceedings. That depends on several things, including how quickly it seems the next song will be eliminated and such, but ultimately rests on whether or not I decide to actually do it.

    I'd say leave it too - you could've started at 77 points each and see it run for years... ;)
