Who's your favourite non-Barry composer?
Who's your favourite non-Barry composer?
We all know John Barry is the man when it comes to Bond music, but who's your favourite after him? I haven't just confined it to EON productions this time, so we get Jerry Goldsmith (for CR54), Burt Backache (for CR67) and Michel Legrand (for NSNA).

Kamen got my vote. Right from his gunbarrel music on you knew this was a different kind of Bond movie.

Voted for Arnold. I think he did a great job. The score for TND just screamed "BOND!JAMES BOND!" also I liked his more low-key themes like "Elektra's theme" or "Paris and Bond". And I even give him credit for some of the stuff from CR,noteably "Death of Vesper"..
