I love the saxophone in Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty.

Hazel O'Connor: "Will You?", 1981.
The alto sax solo by Wesley Magoogan on Hazel O'Connor's 'Will You?' inspired many people to learn to play the saxophone in the early eighties. Following an accident with a circular saw, his career as a saxophonist sadly came to an end. Wesley is now creative in other fields - check him out on Google. He'll always be remembered for his performance on Will You.

Steely Dan had some amazing ones, such as the heart-breakingly excellent sax solo by Phil Woods in "Doctor Wu". Pete Christliebe's solo in "Deacon Blues" takes the cake for me, though.

I'd have to go with the solo in "Urgent", by Foreigner.

Its not a full blown sax solo but the into to "The Chosen Ones" / The Black Sorrows sounds amazing. Just soprano sax magic!

I love the tasty sax bits in "Ladies of the Road" by King Crimson

One of the sexiest songs ever in my opinion.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU3aTdw__VY&feature=related

(Fripp/Sinfield)
A flower lady's daughter
As sweet as holy water
Said: "I'm the school reporter
Please teach me", well I taught her.

Two fingered levi'd sister
Said, "Peace", I stopped I kissed her.
Said, "I'm a male resister",
I smiled and just unzipped her.

High diving chinese trender
Black hair and black suspender
Said, "Please me no surrender
Just love to feel your Fender".

All of you know that the girls of the road
Are like apples you stole in your youth.
All of you know that the girls of the road
Been around but are versed in the truth.

Stone-headed Frisco spacer
Ate all the meat I gave her
Said would I like to taste hers
And even craved the flavour

"Like marron-glaced fish bones
Oh lady hit the road!"

All of you know that the girls of the road
Are like apples you stole in your youth.
All of you know that the girls of the road
Been around but are versed in the truth.

I like the solo in Billy Joel's "just the way you are". maybe not the best ever but I like it. (BTW, the sax is not a brass instrument)
