One of the best Rock riffs ever is Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out. There's just something really catchy and great about it.

I also have to nominate Finger 11's Paralyzer. I can't even explain what it is about the riff in the song, it just hits me on some weird level.

F_S Doesn't Mind Telling You That His Favorite Riff Is The Infantile, Easily Played 10-Second Riff In The Middle Of "Incense And Peppermint". It Is So Incredibly Juvenile, And Yet It Epitomized Psychedelic Rock. It Still Gives Fat Goosebumps 40 Years Later.

Also, The Overplayed And Predictible "Baker Street", Which Fat Thinks That MikeyBoy Said He Hated. But That Is OK, 'Cause Music Is A Matter Of Personal Taste.

By The Way, J-Lo Looked Spectacular On Idol Tonight.

Not necessarily my favorite but the opening to "When the Levy Breaks" is certainly up there. GNR's Mr. Brownstone rocks the house.

Yeah, no kidding. Nothing beats "Back in Black's" opening in terms of straight up riff-iness.

Ritalin likes this. Not only does Fat Sunny post in the third person, when he's demonstrating how to post to someone else, he has THEM posting third person.

Ritalin loves consistency.

Love the FezPaul picks:

Black Sabbath- N.I.B. - The definition of rock and roll bass, along with Into the Void.

Jimi Hendrix- Machine Gun - Guitar and drums become visual.

Gotta add:

Blind Faith - Had to Cry Today - Clapton brings the intensity of Cream and adds beauty

Jimi Hendrix - Manic Depression - Simply because of the 3/4, the key to understanding the brilliance of Hendrix. The method to his madness. Not just a musician but a composer. An inventor.

Freddy King - Let the Good Times Roll - Wow. The best of the Three Kings.

Default gib me a dolla!

I'm really bored with my music so if anyone feels like emailing me any mp3s of these sounds that would be out of sight.

"Yer Blues" as performed by Lennon, Clapton, Kieth Richards and Mitch Mitchell - the Dirty Mac - on Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.
