Rock and Metal Songs with the Best Use of Saxophone
The saxophone is one of my favourite sounding instruments, so I wanted to make a list about some songs with my favourite saxophone sections. My basic list will have one song per band, otherwise certain bands would just dominate the entire list. It will be based both on how good the saxophone actually sounds, and how much impact there is on the actual song, which is why I may have rated some things higher, or lower than expected.
As well as the few small uses of saxophone before the chorus which are absolutely amazing, the entire Con Safo section is just one big saxophone solo, and it's glorious.
The saxophones sound simply divine in the first half of the song, but the spot that really makes me love it here is the amazing climax of the song, where it goes absolutely insane.
The saxohpone in this one is amazing both because it was such a powerful moment that came out of nowhere, and that when the guitar takes the same melodic line, it becomes even greater.
It was impossible to leave this song off the list, since this song is elevated to such amazingly high levels thanks to the pure beauty of the saxophone.
It's Van Der Graaf Generator, how could I not have at least one of their songs on the list? I personally love the saxophone here though due to how it carries the melodic line of the entire song, as well as having some more time to shine at around the 5 minute mark.
The slow, dreary saxohpone further increases the extreme emotional impact that this song has, making it sound even more sad than it would have if it were just the amazing vocals of David Bowie.
This one is extremely interesting to me, because of how eerie and all around unsettling they made the saxophone, which is especially noticeable where the saxophone has a small solo, which sounds absolutely terrifying the first time you hear it.
I don't know what to say about the saxophone in this song other than it is unbelievably fun to listen to
The saxophone just sounds awesome here, nothing particularly emotional or powerful about it, just absolutely awesome.
The entire instrumental all builds up to this epic saxophone finish.
Such an amazingly surprising saxophone solo that perfectly bridges the gaps between the two halves of the song
Just beautiful
