    John Barry’s scores weren’t really anything special until You Only Live Twice.

    I disagree with that. I think FRWL already shows Barry's brilliance. But the power injected in his GF and TB scores is phenomenal. I consider them very special and ahead of their time in almost every regard.

    Everything Barry did was special. Other than Star Wars, I can't think of another title song or tune as impactful as the opening of GF.

    I'd add Morricone's theme tune for Il buono, il brutto, il cattivo to that list, but that's as far as I go too.

    TB is also one of my very favourite Bond scores, so atmospheric and mysterious, I love it.

    Not sure that one carries any weight outside of the UK. I've never seen the movie.

    As much as I like Ken Adam, he doesn't work that much on Bond films.

    I think this theme would be the one that deserves that honor.
