RIFFS.

Ok kids, top 5 riffs. Lay em on me.

Mine be is:
"Creeping Death" - Metallica (the bridge riff, also known as the DIE! part)
"Rumble In Brighton" - Stray Cats (verse riff)
"Hangdog" - Bill Frisell (the "A" section...more of a head than a riff but if you were to call it a riff, it would be a serious one)
"Goodbye Sober Day" - Mr Bungle (Crazy metal riff near the end...great example of a whole band working together to make a non-cliche brutal metal riff)
AC/DC - Any and all
