Radio 2 Top 100 Greatest Guitar Riffs

[Colonel36]

100 guitar riffs countdown..

It's on now if anyone's interested.

[Roland Rock]

I like all the blacks - Black Night, Black Dog and Back in Black

[Diablo]

C'mon then where do you think R2 listeners will have voted Smoke On The Water and Since You've Been Gone?

[steve-bbb]

i dont know but im sure if its radio 2 there will probably be some kenny g in there - hes a jazz guitarist no? suirely they can have jazz riffs in the top 100 yes?

im just keeping my fingers crossed that nothing from coldsore makes it in the list

[E sharp]

I've just listened to a massive build up for Killing in the Name , and they never got to even the 2nd verse , before stopping it . Waste of time

No 46 currently playing - The Faces 'Stay with me' - yay!!

[seashell]

Only just tuned in. They are playing Apache now. Which reminds me...in an interview Hank Marvin said his fave guitar riff is Black Dog. Which only increased my admiration of him! :-)

I have been listening in the car just, are they riffs? or guitar based songs, some good songs I agree but "hey play that riff from Radiohead no surprises!"? How many bars can a riff be spread over?

[sbrag]

I know its voted for but on what planet is livin on a prayer a better riff than teen spirit? I had to turn it off on principle.

[Lozz196]

Enter Sandman just been played. Quality.

[gadgie]

A bit of quo coooool

At a guess.. number 4

[Roger2611]

Nice to see Milk and Alcohol in there but I would like to have seen Wilco playing Roxette in there as well but overall a good set of songs (I would have had to put Johnny B Good at top spot for me though)

[Grangur]

You don't need to guess or even wait to find out. Its allon the R2 website.

Whole Lot of Love? Not too sure that is the best ever riff

[PaulWarning]

considering all the MOR pap that radio2 puts out I'm surprised anybody who likes guitar bassed (see what I did there?) music ever listens to it, I know they have specialist shows but most off the daytime out put is total dross, IMO of course
