Sax in Stones context is spelt Bobby Keys.

No argument.

Among the many highlights, Virginia and Casino Boogie are my fav. Absolute perfection.

Honorable mentions to:

Coming Down Again -Around 3:55, there are 2 sax parts breezily playing back and forth to each other. It's only for about 20 seconds, but I've always enjoyed that section and thought it was cool they let Bobby have 2 overdubs.

Rip This Joint

CYHMK coda (obviously, lol!)

Isn't it Jim Horn on the other sax?

Hey Dandy, it could be! I just assumed Horn was all trumpet, but he indeed could have done the other sax. Actually, it would be cooler if he did, imagining them laying it down together back and forth, vs. Keys just overdubbing over himself.

Let It Loose...if those horn arrangements are allowed to be counted as ‘solo’. So moving.

don't forget Live With Me... That may be my favorite thing he did on a recording.

The best one for me is Mel Collins in Miss You. The sound and feeling of it are just perfect.

Favorite sex solo in a Stones song ..... that'd be more interesting

Best Stones Song to have Sax to?

I prefer group sax to solo sax.

Yeah, one of the best indeed.

Miss you is great for sure.

Ernie Watts. On any song from the US tour 1981. Imagine Hampton without Ernie...

Veering a bit off topic, I was thinking of the great sax solo in the Foreigner tune Urgent, and just now read on wiki it was played by the one and only Junior Walker!
Never really been a fan of Foreigner whatsoever, but that sax solo is truly a standout sizzler.

Not much of a a fan of Bruce and the E Street Band either, but no doubt those signature solos from the late Clarence Clemons were massive, unique, and fit the tunes perfectly.
