The cleverly named http://imacomputa.org is a brave person:

I realized about 5 years ago that at some point in the 80s, lots of the popular music started incorporating saxophone solos into their songs. Some of them are fine, but most of them are ridiculous to have in the songs. Below, I have attempted to separate the quality and appropriateness of the solos from what I think of the song as a whole.

It’s only in the last few years that I’ve managed to let the saxophone into my life. I realize how stupid that sounds given that I claim to love jazz music, but listen to the saxcrement on the page to understand where I, a child of the 80s, was coming from.
