Spirit’s “Morning Will Come,” of which there are actually a couple different versions.
Hows about The Band - Rock of Ages.
“Monday” by Wilco is a great stonesy rocker with brass that would’ve fit perfectly on Sticky Fingers or Exile.
Dave Edmunds’ version of “From Small Things (Big Things One Day Come)”:
Dishonorable mention to “Tubas In The Moonlight” by the Bonzo Dog Band.
An old Count Basie classic, covered by Roomful of Blues:
I have to mention “Army” by Ben Fold’s Five, just because I’m a big fan of Ben Folds in general. When he performs the song at concerts, since he doesn’t have horn players on stage with him, he has the audience sing the horn parts. The first time I saw him perform it live he explained what he wanted the audience to sing. The next time, he didn’t explain anything. He just pointed at the audience when the horn part came up, and there were enough fans there who knew the drill that most people already knew what they were supposed to sing.
Surprised Tower Of Power hasn’t been mentioned. Or maybe they have.
5:15.
Yes, out of my brain on the train!
“Downtown” has a prominent brass section that gives it a very “'60s British” sound:
“The Lonely Bull” is practically all brass; this is only natural, since it was recorded by Herb Alpert and the TB:
Most anything by Morphine. How about playing 2 saxes at once?
I saw the remnants of them touring as Morphine Orchestra after Mark Sandman died, and saw the double sax thing live.
Another band I saw live: Fishbone. They played just outside of my dorm at UMaine in 1990.
Paul McCartney, with Wings, was particularly good at well-placed bursts of hard-hitting brass.
The main melodic hook of “Jet”:
The lead-in to the main section of “Band on the Run”:
And of course, “Live and Let Die”:
Marc Bolan of T-Rex also made good use of horns, on “Bang A Gong”, “Telegram Sam”, and “The Motivator”, which as far as I’m concerned are basically just one song slightly modified three times, but I still love them.
My very favorite rock song with horns though? The OP nailed it in the first post: the Stones’ “Bitch.”
Reminds me - the Damned’s version retains that lovely Spanish-flavoured trumpet.
And they also had nice brass in Grimly Fiendish
The Clash, Rudie Can’t Fail
A favorite “oldie” by Gene McDaniels:
Sun Ra’s Arkestra, with a pared-down version here.
Likely unknown to anybody outside of Canada, but we had a band called The Powder Blues in the late 1970s/early 1980s, who fit the bill perfectly. This was just one of theirs:
There were others, just as good.
I’m always up for a spot of double saxophony, so I watched the Morphine video - not a sign of it. Imagine my disappointment*.
Just to rectify the situation, here’s Davey Payne of the Blockheads doing his thing in a live rendition of Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick. Solo @ ~2.45. (Sorry - since youtube is now constantly demanding that you sign in, I can’t set up a video to run at a specific time any more - anyone know how to stop the sign-in nonsense?)
(BTW: His Wiki, with photo.)

(*) - “Imagine my disappointment” is a UK trope for a rather condescending correspondent writing to a newspaper letters column and complaining in a superior sort of way. Just joking.
PS - can you call it a solo if he’s playing two instruments at once?
