I never said that, just that I think there are a few others that immediately come to mind first, is all. Both aforementioned women have phenomenal voices.
:-t (Birdleson when he sees emoticons)
Yeah Jason, show some R-E-S-P-E-C-T! ;)
@Chriscoop, is that the one Iggy Pop did, or am I thinking of another?

is an absolute must have and ESSENTIAL LISTENING
It's unbelievable that it will be 20 years old in 2017! It's timeless and to be honest The Propellerhead's close to 10 minutes version of OHMSS is the greatest instrumental track ever and equal to Barry's version.
Every track is marvelous and different. This must be one of the albums I listened to most in my life. It really never left my heavy rotation playlist.
Goodnight, Goodhead, XXX, Melina, Solitaire, MayDay, Octopussy and all the secondary Bond girls are way better than all others combined.
Every single one is perfect for the Moore era and they are amongst the main reasons why LALD to AVTAK are the most fun of all Bond movies.
Bond Girls- Connery (Domino is the only weak link, and I've come to like the duo of Bond girls in YOLT)
Villains- Moore (this was close between Connery and Brosnan, but I like all the villains in the Moore era whereas Largo and Graves are the weak link in the Connery and Brosnan eras respectively.)
Scores- Connery and Moore (Barry, nuff said. Moore also benefits from having one time composers whose scores were also very good)
Action- Moore (this was a close fight with Dalton- the Moore era wins just because there is at least one stand out stunt or set piece in each of the seven films)
Cinematography- Craig (close match with the Connery era, but the cinematographic work in the Craig era has been sublime)
Plots/Storylines- Connery (DN-TB, unbeatable)
Scripts/Dialogue- Connery (Close match with the Moore and Craig eras, but nothing compares with the wit of the Connery era)
Bond performances- Moore (One word: consistency.)
I am not sure about that. I guess that the secondary Bond girls are better in the Connery era (Sylvia, Jill, Aki (or Kissy)) but I am not a big fan of Tatjana. I also think Honey Rider is extremely overrated. Like Pussy she also appeared quiet late in the film. Of course they are very iconic since they were the first but I am not really as amazed as others.
I personally think that overall Craig had the best Bond girls and I am not even a big fan of the Craig era but the girls on average have more personality and are also very well acted. All in all I guess that even the secondary Bond girls are good in the Craig era. Certainly CR lifts it up for me since Vesper is my favourite Bond girl but I also quiet like Camille and Severine. And also - Madeleine despite the fact she is not doing so very much - is at least very well acted.
In the Connery era, I love Honey, Tatiana, Pussy and Tiffany (ditz and all). The first three are iconic and set the template for what a Bond girl should be. Honey and Tatiana are exotic beauties and work well in their respective stories. I've always like Tiffany's feistiness in the first half of DAF, and she has some great dialogue, too.
The Connery era has some strong villains, but I just prefer Kananga, Scaramanga, Nick Nack, Tee Hee, Samedi, Jaws, Drax, Khan, Orlov, Zorin and May Day.
Didn't think much of Severine, but agree it probably because she had so little screentime!
She plays Craig to the wall in that casino scene.
What a shame they didn't write a better bigger part for such a great and beautiful actress.
We'll always have Macau, though.
If you could have a harem composed only of one actors Bond girls which would you go for?
For me:
1. Dan's - Vesper and Solange almost enough on their own but then throw in Camille, Fields, Severine, Lucia and Madeline and although the numbers are fewer it's a very high quality selection.
2. Sean's - Honey, Tatiana, Fiona are the standouts but able support from Sylvia, Molly, Domino, Helga, Plenty, Tiffany. Can't say Aki or Kissy do that much for me but it's nice to have them in there for the variety.
3. Rog's - For the sheer numbers alone, despite the fact he has quite a few ropey ones (Rosie, Saida, Felicca, May Day), there's still plenty of quality in there too.
4. Pierce's - Natalya, Xenia, Elektra, The Pikelet all very fine. And for all her other faults Jinx looks superb in that bikini and let's be honest who wouldn't like a bit of Christmas Jones? Yes she lacks the class of a Vesper but she's still damn hot.
5. Tim's - I love Kara and Pam is pretty hot too. Lupe's just annoying.
6. George's - Tracy is hard work but Ruby seems like a good laugh for a week or two. But lack of numbers kille both George and Tim.
I'm shure you would like to reconsider!!
@TheWizardOfIce
Mine needs a serious update. Solitaire at 13? What was I thinking?
Its a shame and a tragedy that Angela Scoular,who played Ruby,had terrible depression,and committed suicide by drinking and covering herself in drain cleaner.
Even her husband,Leslie Phillips,didnt expect it.
It'd be between Sean's and Dan's gals for me, Wiz. I'm tempted to go with Sean's group because I've always felt an attraction to women of that time, but I couldn't pass up Vesper in this instance, so I have to go with Dan's selection for that reason alone.
I'd be beyond content with just Vesper and would tell the rest of the girls to go knock on your door to give you a fun time.
But Honey, Tatjana, Domino do not do so very much in their films like Madeleine in Spectre. They are very beautifull and the acting is not bad but they are also a bit too naive and do not really stand out for me.
I like Kissy and Aki but they are just a little bit too similar and I guess it was not the best decision to kill Aki and just replace her by another very similar agent.
Tiffany is very interesting and smart in the beginning but towards the end she turns into a bimbo. Her character development is quiet terrible.
I also have mixed feelings about Pussy. I think the acting is good and there are some great lines. However, she appears quiet late in the film and I never understood her character development. I have also always found her flying circus a bit to cartoonish.
