Poll question: Favorite Opening Riff
Yeah, Ritchie Blackmore's not on there. Get over it.


If there's one you simply cannot live without, feel free to post it.

Best all time...

The others are good...

But that riff sets the tone for a whole lot more than just the song...

9. Chuck Berry's Carol
Everything else is a pale imitation.

Unless someone who's a bigger snob than me wants to point out a superior Chuck Berry opening riff.

14. Yeah, but
a keyboard riff doesn't pack quite the punch of a nice guitar riff. And I threw two basslines in for kicks (one of which has a seriously awesome vote)

21. No "Heartbreaker" by Zep?
That's one of the most distinctive opening riffs in RnR (outside of anything by Blackmore, that is)
