and a great song to boot
Joe Walsh Hotel California was voted best of all time a few years back, but there are so many to choose from.
Summerlove Sensation from 1974 by The Bay City Rollers
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

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.

Smokestack Lightnin' - Howling Wolf ,the riff played by Hubert Sumlin.
Could list many.
Great riffs in Bob Seger`s, Like A Rock.
In younger days, 10CC and Feel The Benefit.

Black Sabbath - Tomorrows Dream / Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
Not sure whether we are talking about riffs or solos but Who's That Lady ( album version ) qualifies on both counts.
I was assuming there was nobody ignorant enough not to know that was the Isley Brothers but I suppose you never know.

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.

In simple English could someone please explain what a riff is?
It's like the above examples, a repeated identifiable (guitar) hook line that generally makes up the main rhythm body of the song.

That reminds me a lot of something else and now I'm seething as I can't put my finger on it. I can hear it in my head but can't remember any lyrics.
Volunteers by Jefferson, another classic riff:

'Great Guitar Riffs at the BBC' is on BBC4 now
The intro to that JANE sound a bit like the intro to Owner of a Lonely Heart - Yes.
Yes - a bit but I don't think it's that i'm thinking of, it might also have the plinky piano bit as well.
I'm wondering if it's Journey or someone like that.

When I heard "Jane" I thought it was the woman singing, it's briliantly sung but the comments on that song seem to say it's a guy, which would make more sense with they song, but an Ozzy Osbourne or Lemmy clone he aint!
