It works for Pink Floyd. "Dark side of the moon" wouldn't be the same without it!

Sure they do. Piano and saxophones were more popular in early rock up to the British invasion. John Lennon used them in his solo music. The Rolling Stone used sax a lot, mainly Bobby Keys but jazz great Sonny Rollins on "Waiting On A Friend". Steely Dan had Wayne Shorter on "Aja". One of my favorite bands was Morphine, a trio that played "low rock". This band had no guitar just sax, bass and drum and it worked real well.
I know a few blues band that have sax featured too. Sax and brass can a missing element to an otherwise lackluster tune. Nothing wrong with good sax.

The saxophone is related to jazz music, but theese days, it has found it's way to house music. You never now what might come up next. So it might not belong to rock music, but I am shore that new songs will come up and you may be able to hear a saxophone.

Hi Minkus! sand&sea told me about what happened to your old account and gave me a link to your new account. I missed your questions!
Saxophones can sound good for softer rock (e.g. Dave Matthews Band) but the instrument would get drowned out if it were featured in heavier songs by heavier bands. So I guess it depends on the artist/band's style.

They've been there since the beginning of rock, from "Shake, Rattle and Roll" through the Rolling Stones' best stuff, to not so much today.

It could, it all depends on the song and what style of rock music it would be in.

I think they belong in jazz music and tv talk shows. They just don't seem to fit with rock music.
