General / Off-Topic What’s that song? Great guitar riffs

[Jesters09]

Waaaaaaay too many for me........

In no particular order (AKA the order I saw them on the shelf):

ELO - 10538 Overture
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Fortunate Son
Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear The Reaper (needs more cowbell)
AC/DC - For Those About to Rock
Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
The Kinks - Waterloo Sunset
The Who - The Seeker
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
Ugly Kid Joe - Cats in the Cradle
T. Rex - Get It On
Golden Earring - Radar Love

Surprised nobody yet mentioned:

Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode

Thats a list right there and an education.

Lots to choose from but while I have a little think .. a Malcolm Young riff meister (RIP).

One of my fav AC/DC grooves gone loose, live and in fact gone .. shootin'

Challenge accepted, not sure if basslines count as riffs exactly - in which case I might have gone for Sugarhill Gang Rappers' Delight - but I'm thinking about the ocarina-bit at the end of the verse (which Marmite used in an ad), War - Low Rider;

I hear the Banjo riff and then I'm just waiting for the brass to kick in...

Do bass riffs count?

In my early years, how many times have I flown high-altitude on this Lou Reed song ? I can’t count.

One of the greatest riff heavy tracks ever produced. Breathtaking.
