So many good ones.
I’m going to go with Television’s Call Mr. Lee just because I can’t seem to pick up a guitar without playing it.
Of course like so many off their songs the “riff” is a call and response thing, so one player can only approximate it.

Re: Best riff EVER EVEr EVer Ever..
i feel like corpse pose - unwound has soo many cool riffs that make up the song but if i had to pick any riff in the song, it's that weird sounding riff at the 1:50 mark. i learned how to play the song in standard and the positioning is sooooo fucking weird.
offset guitars resident bass player.

Not necessarily the best riff (though its pretty good) but I was sat down last night thinking how fucking good Queen Bitch sounds when Rono comes roaring in from the right over Bowie's acoustic at the beginning.

I call Guiding Light as the Television riff one player can handle, but 1880 or So is the best riffage from their third LP in my book. Venus works for solo guitar too.marqueemoon wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 1:24 pmSo many good ones.

But the riff that sends me into transports of delight every time is from The Clientele's We Could Walk Together.
Edit: meant to say Days, not Guiding Light.

Beat It by Michael Jackson. So good it didn’t need to stop for the entire chart-topping song!
