Money - Pink Floyd
Urgent- Foreigner


that's all have now...

The live version (86 USSR) of Billy Joel's Stiletto.

Jungleland-Bruce Springsteen

It's a little short, but the one in Springsteen's Born to Run is nice.

Rump Shaker

Soprano sax solo in "Mr. Bojangles". Odd that a sax would be in a country song, but it works.

Also, don't forgot the all-time classic "Back To The Hotel". ;-)

Let Love Rule - Lenny Kravitz

Billy Hicks,

any song his band plays at St. Elmo's Bar.

Transatlantic Duel With the Devil

Memphis Soul Stew - King Curtis

Anything by Candy Dulfer.

Clarence Clemmons' solo on "You're a friend of mine" with Jackson Browne. Who knew Daryl Hannah could sing!?!

mmmmm...Candy Dulfer...saw her with Prince a few months back, she still looks great and rocked on sax!

I dig the solo in "The Gunner's Dream" by Pink Floyd off of The Final Cut. Also there's a ripping one in "The Dogs of War" from A Momentary Lapse of Reason. "Money" is still a classic solo, and for me it's still the un-perfectness of it that just fits so well.



Us And Them - The Pink Floyd Experience
http://www.usandthemband.com

The best Floyd moment is on "Us and Them" IMO

"Make it till Monday" I believe is The Verve song on "A Storm In Heaven" that has a nice sax bit

'walk on the wild side' lou reed

Cadillac Ranch - The Boss and Clarence

Pick one by Maceo Parker when he was with James Brown.

He's on "Cold Sweat," "I Got You(I Feel Good)," "I Got The Feeling," etc.

Texan Clifford Scott from San Antonio played the very influential sax solo on Bill Doggett's "Honky Tonk." The well-known guitar solo is on Part 1, composer Scott blows his sax solo on Part 2. Scott played with Lionel Hampton for years and later was with Ray Charles.

The moody sax on The Viscount's "Harlem Nocturne" made that classic tune a girly show dance standard.

The sax solo on Carole King's song "One Fine Day" by The Chiffons rocks hard. It sounds just like the stuff that Clarence Clemons plays for Bruce, like on "Born To Run."

"Harden My Heart" by Quarterflash deserves a mention. That saxophonist was a chick.

Many of The Coasters' songs, like "Charlie Brown," had dynamite sax solos, probably all played by the same studio guy. I'll have to look him up.

King Curtis' subtle playing on Buddy Holly's "True Love Ways" is wonderful and Curtis' solo stuff like "Memphis Soul Stew" and "Soul Serenade" was very popular.

Jr. Walker was the definitive funky sax stud on his all-star stuff, like "Shotgun," "Pucker Up Buttercup" and "(I'm a) Roadrunner."

Those are some older examples of fine, seminal sax playing.

The sax solo on George Michaels' "Careless Whisper" is so good.

And Eagle member Glenn Frey's "You Belong To The City" has a sax setting the mood.



Gig 'em, FAST FRED '65.

That bit in The Lost Boys when they're at that rockin' gig and the muscley guy with the baby oil is singing that magic tune, and then he kicks into this crackin' sax solo, aw man, that's just, like, the top, man!

Daniel Le'Melle, blowing the sax on Rick James' "Super Freak."

"Blow Danny!!!"

"Sleep to Dream Her", DMB

Agree with Fred on Jr Walker but my favorites besides "Roadrunner" are,

"These Things Will Keep Me Loving You"
"What Does It Take (To Win Your Love)?"

Garry Rafferty - Baker Street

Some of you are applying a very loose definition of "rock."

I always thought he said "blow Daddy!!"

Thanks for clearing that up.

There's a pretty sweet sax/bass interlude in Duran Duran's "Rio".

"Summer Romance" Incubus' first album, S.C.I.E.N.C.E


Fantastic album that everyone should own. It's completely different from what they do today, and infinitely better.

Rolling Stones -
Waitin' on a Friend

Emotional Rescue - guitar and sax trade off dueling banjo style

Miss You - live

Dave Matthews Band has a couple of great sax songs.

The Zutons.

There is not sax in Make it til Monday. You are thinking of The Sun and the Sea, that indeed has a nice bit of sax. The song in general overcomes a really bad zeppelin riff in the firs 20-30 seconds.

Texags was onto something with this thread btw. Lots of sax feature in rock songs in the 2006-2009 period. The high point of which, in my opinion, was the solo in M83's 2007 hit Midnight City.
