THE ULTIMATE ROCK"RIFF"

[nickso]

It all comes down your definition of the word "rock riff".

Personally, I'd exclude anything even vaguely 'metal', i.e. has the distinct and tedious 1/4 time signature, with a vocal accompaniment from someone who's just drunk some drain cleaner. .

but thats why i love it

The Who ...... IMHO.

this is essentially the problem, i personally dont think much of the who, some great songs but pretty tedious on the whole. each to their own i guess.

I don't think Keith Moon has ever been called "tedious" before.

seen these live plenty and going to see them in paris later in the year, this is one of the best.

I saw them at Ozzfest 2001, brutal is the only word to describe.

Even so, I'll raise you ten.

Anthrax \m/

Don't any of you out there have any PROPER opinions of the truly classic riff, Thrash metal is all very well but it's just not yer mainstream rock!

Thinking along the lines of suchlike~
AC/DC~For those about to rock(we salute you)

GUNS 'N' ROSES~Mr Brownstone

ALICE COOPER~Schools Out

RAINBOW~Since you been gone

C'MON get yer memories ramped up to full throttle

If that's the direction we're going now then I'm gonna vote for "I Will Always Love You", by Dolly Pardon (not that hideous version by the wailing banshee Whitney Houston).
