I think my most disparate rankings were putting AVTAK at #22 (it was #3), and in the other direction, I had FYEO at #6 (it was #22). But I was fairly close with most of the top 10. Some_Kind_Of_Hero wrote: » There's usually a question as to wh…

OHMSS was #5 for me, though I rank the film #3. I agree with those of you who already said it's an excellent score from start to finish. I know we aren't really doing title songs, but since it's instrumental, all Barry's, and is used in other part…

Oh, it's real all right. :)

About the one-liners, shortly after reading these entertaining posts, I went to YouTube to listen to some Bond songs and the graphics on one read only, "Not from where I'm standing". Couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Roger's delivery of that is…

I respect that many of you like it so much, but I rank it #20. Compared to even MR right below it, I find MR has much more memorable music phrases. More melody. AVTAK has good movie music, and though I greatly admire John Barry, I dare call the m…

I've enjoyed all your comments about MR! @Some_Kind_Of_Hero "grandest and most haunting"...a good way to put it! @DarthDimi I agree with your assessment that the film is an absolute treat. Just checked my film ranking and can't believe I have MR …

I thought it deserved #3, so, very close. There are so many great selections in the score, and the large scope of the film really let Barry stretch out in all directions. Bond Meets Corinne is romantic without being soppy. Boat Chase is a great ve…

I had it at #10, only because my list had stiff competition above. My favorite track is probably Necros Attacks, which I've listened to several times recently. It's been said this was Barry's last for the series, and I think it echoes his voice of…

Bill Conti says in a video interview that Barry himself recommended Conti to Cubby Broccoli for FYEO. Being a fan of the FYEO music, I'm happy it worked out that way. I think Conti is a better composer than Martin, while Martin's greatest talent l…

I know Bibi said she wants to win the gold medal, but from where I sit, I fancy she's got competition. And since we're up to Thunderball in the Music Score Ranking Game, here's more of the women from Thunderball.

TB at #4. Bond Meets Domino (when they're both underwater I think) is short but sweet; a nice mix of strings, harp, vibraphone and flute, plus some electric guitar or bass and a touch of the Bond theme thrown in. Vibraphone is a star player in the…

@zebrafish, you're very kind. If you mean the stories involving Michael Caine and Terence Stamp, they're on the internet if you do a search for Barry and Goldfinger. I just wanted to find out more about the score, and was glad to find that backgro…

Thanks @DarthDimi. And I wonder if any audio or video exists of Barry working on part of a Bond score; it would've been fascinating to be there to hear that process. By the way, in relaying the story about Saltzman, I was not doing it to point o…

#2. Oddjob's Pressing Engagement is one of my favorite tracks of all the Bond films, seamlessly combining the Bond and Goldfinger themes. The album went #1 in the U.S. and spent 70 weeks on the albums chart. Federico Fellini once told an interviewe…

#19. The score just didn't make an impression on me. Love the film and Roger in it though. I wonder if part of the reason why I don't find the score memorable is because of All Time High, which is a great song, but perhaps not a strong choice for…

I've had computer issues so haven't been able to post as much as I'd like, and my backup computer is so slow I can't use YouTube to reference the scores. TMWTGG I had at #8. I really like that score! Someone mentioned its exotic and atmospheric q…

Crazy that California won't let students and teachers go without masks, even though the CDC says students and teachers in every state don't have to wear masks if they're fully vaccinated. One reason for the state's decision, according to California…

Don't buy the fearmongering about the Delta variant, which we hear a lot these days. It isn't much to worry about, for most of us. It's like the flu. It may spread more easily, but so far evidence shows the CFR or case fatality rate of the Delta …
