Question:It would be nice if the sheet music was free, but I don't care about that really. If it is downloadable online, that would also be nice. I am also looking for other songs such as "Money" by Pink Floyd and the Artist by the Hush Sound, but I don't think the last one has sax in it.

If you are looking for the actual saxophone solo for "Money," (or any of the others) it isn't transcribed or published. It was an improvised solo and has never been transcribed professionally. If you want it, you have to figure out the notes yourself. If you want the rest of the music already transposed for saxophone, it doesn't exist. Popular music (especially vocal) is rarely (maybe 1% of all the songs written) written for an instrument other than piano/vocal/guitar because the demand is so low, and the work too much for little to no return (if not a loss) for the publishing company. Also, most popular vocal music is WAY easy for a saxophonist. My students will sometimes buy the "best of XXXX" (choose a year to fill in for XXXX) when they are absolute beginners. Within three months, their playing level is well beyond the level they are playing at because there are very few to no complex rhythms and the melodies are nearly all step-wise in motion so they are just barely harder than "Ode to Joy" and songs like that.
