I like this music song.

This music song was also in the opening montage to a 90210 episode. I don't remember which one.

ohhhh snap... just thought of this one. Simple, yet elegant.

That opening riff though...

manish boy - every blues artist ever (...but I think Muddy Waters)

others you may not have thought of:

Freak out - LeFreak
Fame - Bowie
Flashlight - P Funk

So in conclusion. There is no such thing as "Greatest of all time"...

Thank you and goodnight.

FYI, my post referred to the "most instantly recognizable".. not "greatest" - but, yes, the thread title is "greatest".

Bobby Sak wrote:the most instantly recognizable guitar riffs of all-time (my opinion):

Satisfaction
Sweet Child 'O Mine
Back in Black
Walk This Way
Sweet Home Alabama
Smoke On The Water
Money For Nothing
Whole Lotta Love

my reasoning was basically "what guitar riff or opening do you hear that you know instantly what the song is"? Kind of a "name that tune" for guitar riffs.

For the kids today... no one mentioned this & probably the most recognizable. (Hell the Olympic crowds where chanting it)

Might not fit your preconceived notion, but this is basically a 10 minute guitar riff.

This ain't no panty waste acoustic riff thread bro! I wondered who'd be the first.

Technically, I was the first acoustic panty waster with Nancy Wilson.

Yup, Prince has to be in this group. Hendrix, too.
