I blame Quarterflash!

Was there a law on the books back in the early 80s that required EVERY song to have a shitty saxophone solo in it? From Glenn Frey to the Pointer Sisters, from Phil Collins to Steve Winwood, it's all about the alto sax. And in all their music it's probably played by the same piano tie and rayban wearin' guy acting like playing his instrument is akin to whipping out the world's biggest cock for everyone to marvel at.

Luckily, before music as we know it was utterly destroyed, multiple abuses by people like Bonnie Raitt, Mister Mister and 'Got my Mind Set on You' by George Harrison completely killed the 'golden age' of stupid sax solos.
