What's your take on the score for Goldeneye. My least favorite, though I dig the film
I thought the score in the film was just dreadful, almost as bad as Never Say Never Again.
But, surprisingly, I found Goldeneye's score to be rather enjoyable in a strange way when listened to all by itself. IN the film, well, it's grown on me some, but it's still the weakest part of the movie. By itself, as a listening experience, I kind of like it.

Neil, I had a similar experience with THE SPY WHO LOVED ME. I was in my mid-teens when it came out and I thought it was the coolest movie ever. I went to see it three times (versus once for STAR WARS). Everything in SWLM worked for me: the music, the car, the girl, the action, and the overall flow of the film. It couldn't have pleased me more.

I like what you're saying here, Neil.
My opinion about the Bond music changes all the time too. "Live and Let Die" was my first Bond film and I have a particular fondness for the film, the theme song and George Martin's score (particularly the voodoo shop cue, which I think is part of the "Bond to New York" medley on the enhanced CD).
But my favorite Bond film and score is "For Your Eyes Only." I'm sure not many others agree with me (and that's ok). But who can deny the perfection of John Barry's "Goldfinger," "Thunderball," "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" or "License to Kill" (all pretty great films too)? And David Arnold's "Tomorrow Never Dies," "The World Is Not Enough," "Casino Royale" and sometimes "Quantom of Solace" are pretty magical as well. Each has its own mood and will strike people differently for different reasons at different times.
I must say I go back and forth on "The Spy Who Loved Me" too - so much on there that is great ("Bond 77," "Ride to Atlantis") and exceptionally underrated. I think it's great that no one composer's Bond music can be considered the only Bond music worth hearing. So much of it is so good. And, as you say, it comes in handy as things change from day to day.
