Duran Duran performs on the Coachella stage during the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio in April 2011.
There are few things better than amazing saxophone solos and in the 1980s there were two that stand out above all others.
Up first, the epic solo in Duran Duran’s “Rio.” I would also like to point out that the entire album is amazing. And come on, more saxophone solos should be played on rafts.
But then, you have Spandau Ballet’s classic “True.”
Which saxophone solo wins? Vote in the poll and feel free to expound in the comments. I’ll leave the poll open for two weeks and then the winner can battle the greatest ’80s sax riff of all, Wham’s “Careless Whisper.”
