Yeah, OK … not FX-related. But, still …

The greatest guitar riff of all time has been voted on by listeners of BBC Radio 2 (must admit, I’ve never listened to BBC2).

First thing that occurred to me was Dire Straits ‘Money for Nothing’ … and its there at #8. Oh, and the tune at #2 is a close second for me, too.

The list:

  1. Whole Lotta Love – Led Zeppelin
  2. Sweet Child O’Mine – Guns ‘N’ Roses
  3. Back in Black AC/DC
  4. Smoke On The Water – Deep Purple
  5. Layla – Derek and The Dominoes
  6. How Soon Is Now? – The Smiths
  7. Down Down – Status Quo
  8. Money For Nothing – Dire Straits
  9. You Really Got Me – The Kinks
  10. Money – Pink Floyd

But … 50 years ago this month (August 1964, a good month indeed) … The Kinks (above at #9) released a song: You Really Got Me – The Kinks

Happy Birthday
