I can understand that issue with Barry. He was best until the mid 70s, afterwards he got a bit boring (exceptions like DANCES WITH WOLVES athough not really providing anything new). Besides loving his early ones like Goldfinger that defined the sound, my favorite of his Bonds is probably THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS as is so varied and a kind of best of. I like the drumbeat updates although they were not exactly by himself if I am not mistaken.
Beside liking Arnold I always liked Conti’s and George Martin’s entries a lot.
