Impossible to pick a "best", so I'll start with a favourite -
Sweet Jane by Lou Reed (the 4 chord version) |

By:
"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? |
|
By:
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 ![]() |

for any guitarists wondering what I'm prattling on about with "Sweet Jane" ....

Aka tell this lot how good it is my support gigs so far
|
|
By:
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.

An interesting selection.....Paranoid, Black Sabbath for me |
|
By:
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 .Or back in black by AC/DC. |
|
By:
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.
|
|
By:
Smoke on the water being another classic example.
