You could list just about anything Malcolm Young came up with.
The Kingsmen--Louie Louie
Don't have to post the recording or the video because EVERYBODY knows the riff.
And the words.

Pride & Joy - SRV
Foxy Lady - Hendrix

couple of slower Zep songs deserve a mention (as do several more rockers!):
- Over the Hills and Far Away -
- Hey Hey, What Can I do.
- She Talks to Angels - Black Crowes
- Black Magic Woman - Santana
- Black Betty - Ram Jam!
- Redemption Song - Bob Marley
- HM: Leaving Trunk - Taj Mahal (more the harmonica, but love that opening!)
Why do we make fun of male bass players, yet there seems to be a lot sexy female bass players?
Some of you need .to learn what a riff is. It's basically a repeated melodic phrase within the rhythm and generally but not always used as a hook .. ..
You guys are just naming songs with guitar parts you like...
Where's the riff? The hook is a simple rhythm sequence played in simile with the vocals, Not a riff .. .. unless you want to count the three notes used as a fill after the vocal... but it's a simple dumb three note phrase and unworthy of the title of this thread. Plus that guy sucked ballz ..
Low bar ..
Those old injuns would still kick Blues Traveler's ass.
I thought of that one too! There's a cover band out of Raleigh that does a passable version and I love it. Not many bar bands have a harmonica player.
