When I hear “Yakety Sax” I think of Benny Hill.

[LS]

Agree. I think Johnny Colla of Huey Lewis has the BEST sax solos ever, but “Baker Street” is absolutely iconic.

[Made In The USA]

The Rock & Roll HOF includes rap music, so I guess anything is on the table…

Turn the Page
Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band

I think of a Loony Tunes cartoon ... chickens running around a barnyard, stuff like that - I know of Benny Hill but don’t think I’ve watched any of his shows - I do remember him in that movie “Magnificent Men ......”

Not just you for sure. On top of that most of this list is just random bad crap some guy wrote an article about. The other Freepers are adding much better suggestions if youre going to have to listen to sax.
