Best use of a saxaphone in a new wave song...

Do you prefer the tasteful saxaphone, say of "Rio" or "True", or do you like the gloriously cruddy saxaphone of say "Sister Europe" (Furs)or "Never say Never"...

How about the saxaphone on the Flesheaters "A minute to pray, a minute to die" lp...

What's your favorite use of the saxamaphone???

(Yes, you can even answer "Careless Whisper".....)

David Bowie's "Sound And Vision". Hmm..is it New Wave? and is that even a sax? I think it is. It's processed through something.Love that Eno!

Lords of the New Church - Open Your Eyes

Oh, almost forgot You’re the Best Thing by Style Council and Only the Lonely by the Motels (was that new wave?)

PS. If it’s trumpet you want, give me It’s a Mugs Game by Soft Cell, Alone Again Or by the Damne

Just about anything done by Oingo Boingo off their first 3 albums. My personal favorite saxophone arrangement is from "Little Guns" off their album Good For Your Soul.

I always liked how the saxophone was used in Waitresses' songs, plus don't forget the English Beat, either.
