    Been thinking about this.
    Do Saxophone solos and riffs make any song worse than it is/could be? I think they only enhance a good song and make a bad song slightly better.

    Any thoughts? Favourite Sax solos and riffs?


    Of course one of the "greatest" of the bad songs made better by the sax



    Now the rest of the songs with quality Sax work

    Some Foreigner




    All of "Who can it be now"




    Some Pink Floyd




    The Queen aka Sade and Smooth Operator

    Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street



    Glenn Frey



    Anything by Bruce or anyone else that had Clarence Clemons in it is for sure on the list.

    What are some of your favourites and what are some you think of that are terrible songs/would be terrible songs without the Sax raising the quality of it?

    Proof that Lost Boys was a thinly veiled metaphor for the late 80's Gay Vampire movement.

    I need to get back on the Sax... Haven't played in a while but have 10+ yrs experience. Haha, what's great is a few of these catchy songs/hits are pretty easy compared to some crazy jazz players/tracks. Of course, Careless Whisper will be requested regardless so that's a plus for beginning players to look good.

    Bad to the Bone and Heart of Rock & Roll were the first two songs to come to mind after reading the title.

    That saxophone player at the old Prohibition on Westheimer pulled more p***y than anybody I have ever seen. Girls would walk up to that goofy **** and throw their digits into his sax while he was playing.
