Songs with the best use of Saxophone

[Funky]

This thread is sponsored by Miss Candy Dulfer

has anyone else noticed that the instrumental Queen of the 80s (and early 90s), the saxaphone, has made a bit of a comeback lately... Sam Fender embraced his Bruce Springsteen obsession on his album and now there’s a lot of dance pop songs emerging.

it was quite dated and cheesy for a LONG WHILE (maybe still is)

but there’s been big highlights.

I’ll start

Surely Lady Gaga brought the sax back.

That or Mr Saxobeat.

 

[Funky]

I love this

Anyway I watched that Tina Turner interview last night and there was an excellent sax break in one of her sings. I think it was The Best.

I would say Guru Josh for a bit of dance nostalgia but it was a BIT SHIT really wasn’t it.

Unless that's a trumpet, in which case oh lord.

That's a harmonica surely?

[VoR]

I always loved this one

 

[BoysForSeles]

Album track but love the energy the sax adds to this Poly Styrene pop-ska track, ‘Kitsch’.

 

[Funky]

Screaming at those of you who can’t tell the difference between a saxophone and a trumpet/harmonica

[BoysForSeles]

Another 80s hit ballad

 

[Saltwater]

Not a song but an iconic opening theme.

 

[Alla]

Obviously:

 

[Alla]

And if we talk about forgotten US hits that only Alla still plays, love this one.

 

[monsta]

Shame on you all for not mentioning the greatest

 

[Tisch]

Is this the daily thread?
