AtomicCEO Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 This is a thousand times better and it's no coincidence that most of the suggestions people have made that weren't on the other list are near the top on this one. My suggestions was #86 on that list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Even Tonorator's list of 200 omits Rock And Roll Part 2, surely a top 10 riff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursa Majoris Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Scroll down on Tonorator's list and there are links to about 80 more lists. Enough for a whole lifetime of arguments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 gary glitter? is that really a riff? Sure it is. Hey, the man was caught with a hard drive full of kiddie porn. . .he should be on EVERY list of greatness. Obviously someone would bring that up but it doesn't affect the song in any way.

nogohawk Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Terry Kath (Chicago) 25 or 6 to 4 Maybe not the greatest riff but you know the song as soon as it is played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentastic Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Does the 'snort' at the beginning of Casey Jones count as a riff? I think the top ten should be mostly Zep, in no particular order, these are some awesome riffs: Whole Lotta Love Communication Breakdown Black Dog Out on the Tiles Immigrant Song Good Times Bad Times Heartbreaker Kashmir The Lemon Song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whomper Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 6 Paradise City Guns N Roses (1987) Is a little bit of a rip off of Zero to Hero by Black Sabbath. Very minor difference between the 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentastic Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 should be on a list like this somewhere, I think... He is in Modest Mouse now (one of my favorite bands). Although their best albums are behind them, you can hear Johnny Marr on their last album 'We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
