Which is the all time greatest saxophone solo song?

Surely it has to be Baker Street, as there is no tube station named after Careless Whisper?

NO CONTEST!

do we have to choose? each sax solo, each song, hints at a world of aching and tragic romance, "baker street" of a frustrated, middle-aged, working class variety, "careless whisper" of a jetset angst, almost suggesting an early duran duran described one night stand gone bad

The verses of "Baker St." are lovely.. I love the vocalless sax chorus too, but the former cinches this battle for me..

I don't dislike "Careless Whisper", but it drags it a bit more.. however, "Careless Whisper" is easily the superior drunk karaoke song.

I'll take Quarterflash.

"Careless Whisper" is maudlin crap. Compare Baker Street to "Money" ().

"Baker Street" as done by Foo Fighters.

"Baker St." by the Foo Fighters??? You must be smoking crack!!! Are you seriously suggesting it to be better than the original?
