I want to begin this section by saying that I'm not an expert in music so I might say something really stupid and wrong and not realize it, you should also check out Caminus' sax corner for a shrine made by another saxophone lover who's more knowledgeable on the topic
Saxophones are an instrument created by Adolphe Sax (a belgian instrument maker, flautist, and clarinetist) in the 1840s when he decided to create an instrument that would mix the strenght of a brass instrument and gracefulness of a woodwind, they're extremely versatile for this reason and can be found across tons of different genres like jazz, classical, orchestras, rock, marching bands, military bands, etc...
They first gained popularity between the 1840s and 1850s in small classical ensembles and french, british and belgian military bands
They're just a really fun instrument, I adore how loud they are, it makes them feel so powerful and it really adds a ton of life to any song by making it a lot more flashy and strong, I appreciate how versatile they are which lets them be used in tons of diferent contexts both comedic and dramatic, I don't have more deep or complex reasons to like them, it just make me smile everytime I find them on a song :]
Amazing songs with a saxophone, if you know any other songs that fit this description send a message on my guestbook, e-mail or whatever so I can include it here :D if you noticed I made a mistake and included a song that doesn't have an actual saxophone but rather a different instrument that sounds similar to a saxophone please let me know so I can fix it
