Jazz doesn't own the sax but I can tell that they're incorporating it for a "jazzy" flavour and fell flat on their face with it.

Yeah, I can see that. It's got an SNL-between-commercials feel. I still like it but I'll give any track with a horn on it a shot so I guess I'm not saying much with that.
Excellent BGM reference.

There's no simple concept or cool image to them, especially not into the late Gilmour era. They're about the music and so occasionally wander into becoming complete bores.
Still, I find them great when they're great.

Maybe I'm not taking your meaning correctly. The Rainbow from the Prism isn't an iconic image for them? I also feel liek DSotM and The Wall are major iconic albums in the mind of the public. That and "Wish you were here" is played by every busker in every subway in the Western World.
