Well, the horns work in Bitch and the sax works in cant You Hear Me Knocking, as do the horns in Happy, but there's no reason to lay a horn section onto tunes like Jumping Jack Flash or satisfaction. Those are guitar songs. Nothing sounds better than just guitar, bass, drums and a singer playing raw. Piano is fine, but too much keyboard also fucks up a song (think later Dead).
Of course, none of this applies to Traffic and Little Feat, the only bands who effectively use horns.
God, think of how much better 5:15 would be if Townsend hadn't put that stupid horn section into it.
