Bond Soundtracks - Best to Worst
On Her Majesty's Secret ServiceOn Her Majesty's Secret Service by Louis Armstrong
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £9.39
John Barry at his brilliant best. Great action theme, and one of the best love themes in film music history.
From Russia With LoveFrom Russia With Love
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.70
John Barry's first Bond score. Smaller orchestra, and darker style but no less effective.
Live And Let DieLive And Let Die by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £4.37
An exciting funky score by George Martin. Not traditional Bond, but one of the best. Good disc as well, without any missing cues.
GoldfingerGoldfinger by John Barry
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.07
A brilliant brassy score, John Barry is on top form again. Also has the best title song of all the Bond's, and performed by Shirley Bassey.
James Bond - The Living DaylightsJames Bond - The Living Daylights
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £6.95
An exciting modern take on Bond by John Barry. Just as effective as his more classical scores.
For Your Eyes OnlyFor Your Eyes Only by Bill Conti
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.19
Bill Conti's take on 007. An unusual, but very nice disco style score.
ThunderballThunderball by John Barry
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.07
Very loud, bombastic score by John Barry. Love the title song by Tom Jones. Also features the best version of Barry's 007 theme.
You Only Live TwiceYou Only Live Twice by John Barry
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £4.15
A beautiful score by Barry. My least favourite film, but the score is very good. Just love 'Capsule In Space'.
Diamonds Are ForeverDiamonds Are Forever
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.99
A light hearted film with a score to match. Also one of the most complete soundtracks. No missing cues.
James Bond - A View To A KillJames Bond - A View To A Kill
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £4.00
Barry in fine form again. Features a wonderful action theme. Just a pity there are missing cues.
Tomorrow Never Dies: Original Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK]Tomorrow Never Dies: Original Soundtrack [SOUNDTRACK] by David Arnold
Buy used from: £2.79
Current Bond composer David Arnold's best score so far. Less techno and more Barry style music.
Die Another Day [Enhanced]Die Another Day [Enhanced] by David Arnold
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £1.58
Too much techno, but there are some awesome cues. But there are also some awful ones.
MoonrakerMoonraker by John Barry
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £4.97
Moonraker was a very good score, but unfortunately the CD release is sadly lacking.
The Man With The Golden GunThe Man With The Golden Gun
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.01
Definitely not Barry's best, but still a good score. Unlike most, I quite like Lulu's title theme.
OctopussyOctopussy
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £3.77
Barry's weakest score in my opinion, and the CD release isn't great either. Still, I really like 'Palace Fight'.
The World Is Not EnoughThe World Is Not Enough by David Arnold
Buy new: £15.69 / Used from: £1.88
This score is nothing special I'm afraid. The slower cues are pretty good, but David Arnold's action music isn't that good this time round.
GoldenEyeGoldenEye by Éric Serra
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £9.33
This was a pretty poor score, lacking all the style and class of Barry's work.
The Spy Who Loved MeThe Spy Who Loved Me by Original Soundtrack
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £1.49
It was quite a good score, but the CD release is absolutely abysmal!!
Licence to KillLicence to Kill by Various Artists
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.24
I never really liked this score, and the CD is pretty poor as well.
Dr. NoDr. No
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.47
The first film, but unfortunately the CD is just Jamaican source music, and not the full orchestral score. Disappointing.
