It's certainly a "classic", and makes the song, though it's not really a "rock" song. Springsteen used it well I suppose. Just not my sort of thing.
How about 'Money' ("money!!") by Pink Floyd?
'Money' - Pink Floyd (Big Dick Parry on interstellar rainbow brass)
Nah, something about that song, For me the worst track on "dark side", although I'm much more a fan of their early psychedelic stuff rather than the prog stuff.

Also, in that "Another Brick in the Wall" song that Hey, teachers, leave those kids alone… line is pandering and juvenile. Can't stand The Wall, it's Waters ego wanking and a complete mess. I "admire" Dark Side as I do things like Steely Dan, it's great studio work, but as music it's ultimately clinical and passionless. Still a lot to love in the early works though, the English pastoral psychedelia of "Emily" and "Julia Dream" are quite beautiful.

Dark side of the moon, I don't like it. The wall sucks. Animals, that's the one to listen to.

Yes, "See Emily Play" is a great song before Pink Floyd jumped the shark. I also love Bowie's cover.
Another thing to remember is that punk was a back-to-basics reaction to arthouse bands like Pink Floyd.
"Another thing to remember is that punk was a back-to-basics reaction to arthouse bands like Pink Floyd." To a degree, but I think that is overplayed somewhat as a cause for punk, certainly here in the UK. I was part of that movement and bands like Yes and ELP were considered tedious and over musical and over long (not so much Floyd actually) but there was already a back to basics movement in the UK with the thriving Pub Rock scene. Punk was more about the boredom of the 1970's in the UK along with the lack of a future that was anything but school/factory/death to a working class kid. Feelgood and The Hot Rods were punk before punk even started.

With its walking bass, I feel this jazzy delight you've posted allows me to segway neatly towards Julee Cruise's work with seductive saxophonist Al Regni.
'She Would Die For Love' - Julee Cruise (this is one of Al Regni's more decorative contributions)

Thank you. I have never heard this Julee Cruise album. Sax sounds great. Going to have to catch up on Julee.

Nice. Here's a couple of songs you might enjoy, being a fan of King Crimson.
'Killer' (1970) - Van Der Graaf Generator (David Jackson's salacious saxophone solos sometimes incorporated double sax action and a rogue clarinet)
'Ladies Of The Road' - King Crimson (Mel Collins' surprising horn salute to rock 'n' roll groupies)

Australia's punk scene apparently called for much more use of the saxophone. Ray Warleigh was the man for Nick Drake so was he active in Australia too?
'At The Chime Of A City Clock' - Nick Drake
