Radio 2 - 100 best riffs

wishing well - FREE
badge - CREAM
showing my age here
was going to plump for the Who - won't get fooled again - but then realised it is a keyboard intro not a guitar riff - but such a musical hook to take us all back in time - love to hear the who music on the CSI programs (even if the programs are a very far-fetched!)

I would have thought that Voodo Child (Jimmy Hendrix) would have been on that list (though I'm probably misunderstanding 'riff').

Eagles - Hotel California

Roy Orbison - Pretty Woman

Status Quo - Down Down

There's so many aren't there. I particularly like:

School's Out - Alice Cooper
Purple Haze - Jimi Hendrix
Pictures of Matchstick Men - Status Quo

Oh Well, Fleetwood Mac
Seven Nation Army - White Stripes
and I would have had whole lotta love in 3rd

Mollie65 - love those two tracks, but not my favourite riffs !

Surely the best ever is Sunshine of Your Love - Cream? I've been saying for the last 45 years that I want it played at my funeral.

And what about Free with All Right Now?

You really got me - The Kinks

All these wonderful songs are now going through my head. I will put them on Youtube tomorrow and enjoy the memories of my youth - thanks for reminding me of them.

I am not sure if a Riff has to be played on a guitar, if not I always have tingles when I hear 'Superstition' by my very favourite Stevie Wonder.

At my funeral I wanted 'Gone too soon' by Michael Jackson, however I suspect others won't think it is too soon.
