Yella we like to break your balls cause that's what we do. You're doing yeoman's work on these poles. ATBS Crazy Train is a stone cold fucking lock and is top 3 all time rock riff.
Interesting u left off the most popular party song riff from the 80s and 90s....You Shook Me All Night Long. When our garage band played parties we always closed with that song. As soon as I hit the 2nd bar of the intro you could smell the estrogen dripping from the crowd.
And to bust your balls how da fuq does this lovely riff in A Minor get left out?
Honorable mention to Living After Midnight, Mr. Crowley, and Another One Bites the Dust for the bass line

Hells Bells - AC DC
Crazy Train does have a killer riff. But Hells Bells has a killer riff AND a giant fucking bell.
Probably Brian Johnson's best song.

@Tequilla I have long appreciated Rush in spite of Geddy Lee's annoying "I read The Fountain Head and Atlas Shrugged" lyrics.

My shitty row peter puffer garage band played "you shook me" terribly.
There's like 5 of 6 riffs on Back in Black for this endeavor.

I can listen to Rush all day …
The Spirit of Radio is a Rushmore song of theirs … no question
Only "problem" with Rush is that any guitar riffs are always secondary to the greatness of the drums

I don't know. I mean Neil is on the Mt Rushmore of rock drummers, but Alex Lifeson was no slouch. I think all 3 guys were great players.

No doubt
And I know that you love to give Geddy Lee shit, but at least for me one of the more endearing parts of Rush to me is how unique his voice is, how it plays into their music, and honestly comes off as its own very unique "instrument"
