Its a good job I dont know how to post a video or link otherwise Id be on this for the rest of the week. So many great riffs out there but I always consider AC/DC Whole Lotta Rosie to be as good as anything.

Of course one of the ultimate guitar players. Everyone thinks he's cheesy, but he makes it look so easy...so many great riffs, including Breezin and this one...

Apologies, no link but LR, courtesy of Steve Hunter (I think) also lays down a monster riff in Heroin which starts and builds from about 9 mins.

I really like Run to You by Bryan Adams.

In an ironic way of course....

This lot was published today without any reference to ShrimperZone opinion, outrageous!! So, do you agree or are there better ones about?

Strangely the riff I like 2nd best out of this lot is by a band I dislike - The Smiths :omg:

Out of this top 10 - the Kinks do it for me :happy:

tis Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner. Best live album ever IMHO. Hunter gets a writers credit on Sweet Jane live.

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

Just out of interest, where did The Cult and Rush come in the list. I need to justify fire bombing.
