Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple :) or

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Money by Pink Floyd *actually it a Bass rif. by Roger Waters...

Maria by Rage Against The Machine. Hell almost any RATM song

simple yet awesome song to know how to play

Most of the stuff by the Chili Peppers is great. A lot of Guns n' Roses is very good, Sweet Child O' Mine for example. Smoke on the Water, Back in Black is great, U2 have had a few good riffs recently.

I agree with pretty much every single one of those nominations so far (definitely cant go wrong with hendrix - little wings got awesome guitar playing) but you have stuck to classic rock bands. Therefore i wanna push a new british band called the artic monkeys. Phenomenally catchy songs with some damn good riffs. Seriously download... bet that you (look good on the dancefloor) or a certain romance. The strokes have had some catchy riffs. Im suprised no one has mentioned Queen- Bohemian rhapsody

I like mostly System of a Down riffs best. Definately Toxicity and Chop Suey!

Gotta agree with EVERY SINGLE nomination :D
