Favorite Songs with a Horn section
 

This thread inspired by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

So what are your favorite songs with a Horn section.

Here's a few of mind of the top of my head

"Get in On" Chase
"Rascal King" Bosstones
"Sir Duke" Stevie Wonder
"Stay Out all Night" Pietasters
"Come Running" Van Morrison

Section? As in Trumpet/Sax/Trombone? Or can it just be brass in there?

No rules here, Brass is Brass I suppose. One Trumpet is enough, as long as the horns are clear in the song.

"25 or 6 to 4"--Chicago

That's the only one that really stands out in my mind at the moment, but I'm sure there are a few more that will come to me.

Gloria Estefan had an incredible backing band, The Miami Sound Machine.
Amazing brass section.

Favourites songs off the top of my head are;

'Move On Up' - Curtis Mayfield.
'Dance, Dance, Dance' - The Casualeers.

"ain't no good for you" by cake
"underdog" by spoon

Elliott Smith "A Question Mark"
Bright Eyes "Southern State"

Just listened to Question Mark and it's very good.

probably any song that Bjork uses horns in

What's At Stake-Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Capdown-Cousin Cleotis
Fishbone- Question Of Life
Marvin ***e-What's going on-the whole damn album is jawdropping
Sir Joe Quarterman & Free Soul - The Way They Do My Life
Dawson Smith - I Don’t Know If I Can Make It Part 1

^ Amen!

Jawdropping on many levels.

ooo snap-we are listening to The Cure RT! So are you doing STARING AT THE SEA? I'm on MIXED UP.

Sorry to go off topic, and this will become obsolete in a couple of days time!

Yes indeed...Staring at the Sea. :D

Also off topic with reference to the Smiths v. The Cure thread...it's round about now that I reckon the Smiths for the lyrics and the Cure, musically.

I forgot about Ben Folds Five - Army

Wayne Hancock - Brand New Cadillac
The Slackers - Rider
Link 80 - Harvester Of Sorrow (yes, that one)
Mad Caddies - The Joust
Madness - One Step Beyond
Catch 22 - Hey Sergio
Voodoo Glow Skulls - Bulletproof (the worlds only speed metal horn section)
Sloan - Everything You've Done Wrong (only good song they've ever written)
Buck-O-Nine - My Town
Unwritten Law - Goody Two Shoes (The Adam Ant one with Buck-O-Nine's horn section)



off the top of my head anyway.................I'm a horny dude

Superstition-Stevie Wonder

Any song by Cake fits this criteria for me.
Any artist that incorporates instruments that have been around before the invention of electricity gets my approval.

"Know Your Product" by the Saints. Punk with a killer horn riff!

"Make Me Smile" & "Does anybody really know what time it is" - Chicago

I also dig the horns in "Brown Sugar" - The Stones.

The Band - Anything from "Rock of Ages"

I'm plugging the **** out of this one...

Tom Waits's Chicago has a fantastic horn bit.



As does essentially every song off of Mr. Bungle's debut album.

The Waterboys - The Whole Of The Moon
Branford Marsalis Quartet - Harlem Blues

Neil young- after the goldrush
The band- don't do it

basically anything off of Kayo Dot's Coyote album, but probably "Abyss Hinge 2 The Shrinking Armature" the most

Tower of Power: what is hip

Rod Stewart Crazy About Her - Music video - YouTube


Richard Marx - Angelia


Icehouse - Electric Blue


Eddie Money - I Wanna Go Back

Also, "Sunset Grill," by Don Henley, the original of which doesn't seem to be on YouTube.

Honorable mention to "Inside Out," by Phil Collins - it should have been released as a single.

I generally don't like horns, although apparently I like them more than I thought.
