Best pop/rock song with a sax solo
Baker's Street - Gerry Raferty.

One of my favorites has always been
"Urgent" - Foreigner

Just The Way You Are - Billy Joel

I think Baker Street has to be in the conversation. I always liked You Belong to the City by Glenn Frey and Careless Whisper by Wham.
I learned a bit how to play the saxophone in high school. Yet I am not very fond of sax solo in pop/rock songs. The best sax should be integrated with the song harmonically instead of an exclusive lousy solo. Here is a well-done example:
Sting - Englishman In New York

an underrated song of his.
