if I had to give this score to anyone... I guess I would give it to Bill Conti.... some dislike his score, calling it too "Rocky" or "Disco" - and thats fine.. personally I really like it, especially the music during the gun barrel, and a lot of chase sequences... it was an interesting change of pace, dare I say refreshing? - not to mention he has a hand in creating the beautiful title song, sung by Sheena Easton...

MR: Sir Roger Moore
FYEO: Topol
"If I were a rich man...."
Topol. Because he's Topol.
Met and interviewed Topol's gas installer once. He was a wild-haired German named Gerhard Jax. And while the interview/ gas installation took place, we watched London win the Olympics on the home owner's telly. True story...
It may seem obvious in hindsight, but I think Albert R. Broccoli opened a door when For Your Eyes Only detached the series' tone from the lead actor's established reputation. That door hasn't been walked through since (in fact, it's a door the current producers may have shut depending on what sort of film Skyfall turns out to be), but in the long run I think the precedent set by For Your Eyes Only will prove to be valuable in staving off homogeny as the series continues.

I also think you could make the case that this break with tradition had already been done before with Connery in DAF, and even arguably YOLT. So I'm not sure Broccoli provided any moment of revelation, but rather changed with the times and audience opinion if anything.
