But an even more important question is....
What is the best riff to start a song? There can only be two correct answers.
KISS - Detroit Rock City
Audioslave - Revelations
It you have another response, you are probably a resident of 'motown.
Led Zep - Whole Lotta Love
Nugent - Stanglehold
I'll even throw a shout out to Soundgarden - Jesus Christ Pose
Stranglehold is so good. Especially when the drums kick in.
If you're going with a Zeppelin song, Heartbreaker has to be up there. GNR Sweet Child O' Mine. Almost any Hendrix song (especially Red House). And I like Nirvana's In Bloom, but it's not really a riff, just a good tension building chord progression.
