<br>No mention yet of the English Beat? Lots of great sax in several of their songs.

I'm so ashamed. I love the English Beat, how could I forget? Pretty much pick any song w/sax from these guys. Great band.

Not New Wave, but "Take A Walk On The Wild Side" by Lou Reed has a great sax outro.

Rewind has it right... can't beat One Step Beyond!

Not new wave, but Lisa Simpson plays a pretty mean sax too. Or as her dad would say, "sax-a-ma-phone, sax-a-maa-phooone".

<br>Romeo Void!!! Benjamin Bossi's squawking saxophone is splattered all over every song. Hits include Never Say Never, A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing), and Just Too Easy.

Not New Wave but No Wave is James Chance (aka James White). Biggest "hit"--Contort Yourself. More squawking saxophone brilliance!

Welcome, Casey!

Love "Never Say Never" by Romeo Void, I was surprised when I read the lyrics to that song. Not what I expected.

Someone also mentioned The Ocean Blue. I really liked that band and they just seemed to fall off the face of the earth.

Not New Wave, but "Waiting On a Friend" by the Rolling Stones and "Urgent" by Foreigner both have some amazing "squawking saxophone brilliance."

<br>I like the sax in "Say You're Sorry" by Ministry, from Al Jourgensen's favourite album,With Sympathy. Hmm, I know there's a million more...

Psych Furs - No Easy Street, Heartbeat, I'm sure a few others by them
Men At Work - Overkill, not so much a solo as it is a lick, but a fine one
The Ocean Blue - Drifting, Falling..not really new wave, but worth mentioning
The Waitresses - Pick a song! Great, underrated band, and the sax in "I Know What Boys Like" is excellent.
Bryan Ferry - Windswept, Boys and Girls, Is Your Love Strong Enough (Long Version)
Roxy Music - Tara
Pink Industry - Bound By Silence, dark, sad, gothic saxophone throughout..another underrated band

You can add Pretty In Pink to the Psy Furs list

Actually, the horn playing in "Overkill" is an oboe, not a saxophone. Greg Ham played several different types of horns, as well as the keyboards. His sax can be heard on "Who Can it Be Now?" and "Settle Down, My Boy", among others.[:)]

First--have to agree..All Mixed Up is my favorite song of all time!!
Livin On Livin as mentioned by Blir is also one of the best. On top of that Ive always loved Sylvain Sylvain's "Tonight"-yeah, not new wave but who cares? and local favorites The Schemers0"I Want Some Fun"

<br>Have to agree with some that listed X-Ray Spex! Great punk music with great saxophone on their only one album "Germ Free Adolescents". The saxophone is featured very prominently throughout the album too!
