Impossible to pick a "best", so I'll start with a favourite -

Sweet Jane by Lou Reed (the 4 chord version)

"ADVENTURES IN A YORKSHIRE LANDSCAPE"
It doesn't have a guitar riff in it? It's got what sounds like a Hammond Organ with a bit of lead?

For actual straight in your face riffs I'd probably be going for something by AC/DC or .. wait a minute looking at the list above, it looks like Dragon isn't listing riffs, he's listing solo parts, a very different thing.

If you're talking actual riffs GnR themselves have far better than that. Toss on Appetite for Destruction, take your pick Laugh

Don't think they've been that great tbh.
I know Mick Jagger, Tom Petty and Rod Stewart have all been begging to get a gig with you but lets be honest they are all getting on a bit.
Okay you'll say what about Kylie Minogue and Ricky Wilson but I think their maybe short of a bob or two.

Not sure whether we are talking about riffs or solos but Who's That Lady ( album version ) qualifies on both counts.

Yes I agree Salmon, it seems people are confusing riffs with solos.
A riff is something like .. One Vision by Queen. That's a good example actually Laugh.
Or back in black by AC/DC.

In simple English could someone please explain what a riff is?
By:

It's like the above examples, a repeated identifiable (guitar) hook line that generally makes up the main rhythm body of the song.
