| Without even looking at that link first my all time favorite is by a relatively unpopular band Living Colour, song Cult of Personality. |

And, now that I've looked, and read it...I was thinking "solos" not "riffs".  |

That opening riff on Cult Of Personality was probably one of the best and most underrated riffs ever. Epic stuff... |

Yeah, actually it was. They actually had a few underrated riffs.
Glamour Boys riff was actually scary catchy. I can still get that tune in my head and haven't heard the actual song for years. |

| American Pie by Don McLean was not only a lyrical masterpiece but the dueling guitar riffs/hooks that kick up when the tempo quickens were "feet movin!" |

Generally, I would say definitely not. But I have never been a big fan of Thunderstruck...maybe the only AC/DC song I really don't like. |

I apologize in advance guys but this has got to stop. This type of post is taking things too far. I have called the GM at Journal in Omaha and will take action if vranged is not banned or doesn't willingly relent in his personal madness.
Enough is enough - I am posting this in several threads to expose it. Again, sorry you have to endure this crap.

It doesn't bother you that you wagered your child's soul to keep up a lie? Let me type that again. It doesn't bother you that you wagered your child's soul to keep up a lie.
THE DEFENSE RESTS! Your children should be taken from you. I'm not even saying that in the context of two people going at it on a message board. YOur children should literally be removed from your custody.
You are unstable, and you'll probably whore your daughter out for Husker tickets. I know that's a rough thing to say, but it's probably more acceptable than wagering her soul. Let me type it for the third time in the hopes that it registers with your unstable ass: It doesn't bother you that you wagered your child's soul. Amazing.

For starters, we're talking about the guitar riff. And when you're getting ramped up for a sporting event to start, the beginning of that song is pretty cool. Me likes!

| Different strokes for different folks...personally, the opening riff to "Hells Bells" and "Back In Black" fire me up more than "Thunderstruck." |

Oh, I definitely like Back in Black, Hells Bells, Dirty Deeds, Highway to Hell, TNT and the list goes on.
AC/DC is by far my favorite hard rock band...and I don't have many. Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin are right up there.
Thunderstuck starts out with just the riff, builds up to the guitar and drums, then builds up to the guitar, drums and base. Again, the crowd ramps up with the song. But you're right, to each his own. |

Mark Knopfler laid down some solid riffs way back in the 80's didn't he?
I liked Sultans of Swing. Or some of Eric Claptons stuff. |

Diamonds & Rust - Judas Preist
Only if you're referring to the live version on Unleashed in the East, one of my favorite albums of all time. Glenn Tipton and KK Downing=best guitar tandem ever.

Maybe not one of the best, but definitely underrated. If you've never heard Telegraph Road, check it out sometime. At 14 minutes long it never got radio airplay, but the last 4 minutes are nothing but him jamming.
