In a rock context sax solos have always seemed a bit left-of center to me. A couple that come to mind that are fun are "Shelter Me" by Cinderella and "I Believe In Me" by the Scream.

In jazz, Cannonball Aderley and John Coltrane's excellent playing on "Kind Of Blue" come to mind.

the ones here have been really good, but this may be the best use of a sax I've ever heard...

Cold Chisel - Saturday Night

the main riff starts at 3:15....unforgettable

A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
