Never mind the solo, rock and roll is all about the riff, what's your favourite?

I'll offer the Sex Pistols Pretty Vacant as mine

Iron Maiden’s self titled first album is chock full of memorable riffs (Phantom Of The Opera alone boasts some real belters)

Does anyone remember Studio B’s dance hit, ‘Come On Get It On’?

I’m not sure if the guitar riff was sampled from elsewhere but it was pretty awesome nonetheless

NOTTINGHAM

Immigrant song: Led Zeppelin

- A genuine grinding, purposeful chugger.

My Own Summer: Deftones

- Brute force, anthemic sledgehammer of a tune.

Nod of appreciation to Thunderstruck, as mentioned above.
