They’re not horns. It’s Adrian Belew on guitar synthesizer.

Did I miss seeing Supertramp on the list somewhere? Most of their songs feature they awesome sax playing of John Anthony Halliwell.

“Get It On” by Chase (arguably the best trumpet song ever)  
“God Bless This Child” by Blood Sweat & Tears (the horns make this classic jazz standard)  
“Bitch” by Rolling Sones

I also liked his contribution to “Born To Run”

Also, Randy Jackson’s sax bit on Journey’s “Positive Touch”  
and there’s a good bit of Sax & lead guitar dueling on a few Styx albums

–G!

This may be stretching the category just a weeee bit, but you said horns, and there ARE horns in this song - just in a different sense.

Tusk - Fleetwood Mac

And has anybody mentioned Everybody’s Everything - Santana?
