If you recorded an album in the 1980s, you had to have a sax part in it

[Fenris]

I think it was mandated by international law.

[Whitacre D_WI]

1. The first Minor Threat album had a sax part?

:shrug:

[Fenris]

3. It was on a hidden track.

The LP had 2 grooves on it.

5. Oh! You mean their cover of "Drift Away?"

I always thought that was just a weirdly tuned guitar. You never can tell on those DIY tapes.

[The Almighty Clenis]

2. And very rightly so!

This is a completely impartial opinion of mine, of course.

[Whitacre D_WI]

4. There you are!

I was wondering when you'd "pop up" again!

[XNASA]

6. I did record an album in the 80's.........

And yes, we hired a guy to come in and play sax on one song.

So....I guess you're right.

7. List your favorite rock sax solos

Year of the Cat - Al Stewart
Baker Street -
which Clarence Clemons solos do you like?


I need a list cuz my son is taking sax in 4th grade next year and I want to educate him, but all I have is Parker, Coltrane, Getz, Adderly, Lester Young, etc. and the kid is not tuned to jazz yet.

8. Best one is on "Jungleland"...

...but that's '70's not 80's.

10. Steve MacKaye in "1970"

"Fun House" a close second.

[rucky]

12. One Step Beyond-ond-ond-ond

Madness

[Gothic Sponge]

9. No sax on AC/DC Back in Black

[proud patriot]

11. The lead singer of QuarterFlash played a sax

[tjwash]

13. Big dog played the sax...

[MrsMatt]

14. I had an acquaintance in college

who played sax and she would point out when the sax played on *every* song she heard, "Hear that? That's a saxophone". I'd get pretty annoyed with that - I performed in Band in grade school, junior high, high school and college, and I think after 10+ years, I knew what a sax sounded like.

I grew to hate her.
