50 Greatest Guitar Riffs

DateWednesday, January 19, 2011 at 09:33AM

Here's a list of the 50 greatest guitar riffs of all time, complete with audio!

As such lists go, this one is pretty good--although how the Smiths and Stooges made it, and Rush's Working Man and Mountain's Mississippi Queen didn't, is beyond me.

Enjoy this blast from the past.  50 Greatest Riffs

Any guitar list that doesn't have something by Stevie Ray Vaughan is completely bogus.

The smiths and stooges are on there to prove that over indulgent Rock art isn't the end all be all.

Interesting lists. Nice to see some classics outside the rock genre in there, and minimal on riff heavy metal. But where were the police? Fo reals, Message in a Bottle is totally a top 50 riff. I agree with PB. So many I've never heard of before.
