Well, honestly, I can't think much, if anything, that I like that Michael
Kamen has done!  :-)  And as for Eric Serra, I think "Goldeneye" would be
better with no music at all!

Well, they're certainly better than the scores of Michael Kamen (1989) and
Eric Serra (1995), and arguably even better than the latter scores of
Barry (whose last Bond score was _The Living Daylights_ in 1987).

But it's taken me a while to admit that, because I absolutely hated
Arnold's bombastic music for _Stargate_ and _Independence Day_.  :)
There is a bit of bombast in his Bond scores, too -- I've always thought
he overdoes the horns on k.d. lang's song -- but not as much, I think.
