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:
- Whole Lotta Love – Led Zeppelin
- Sweet Child O’Mine – Guns ‘N’ Roses
- Back in Black AC/DC
- Smoke On The Water – Deep Purple
- Layla – Derek and The Dominoes
- How Soon Is Now? – The Smiths
- Down Down – Status Quo
- Money For Nothing – Dire Straits
- You Really Got Me – The Kinks
- 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
