  Can't You Hear Me Knocking - The Rolling Stones

  Very trick year to sort out. There are multiple riffs on Sticky Fingers, Zep IV, and Into the Void which are worthy, but I tried to pick 1 from each LP

  It has attitude and drama. Great song.

  Can't You Hear Me Knocking - The Rolling Stones

  A tougher choice than it should have been for me, I’ve been on a Small Faces/Faces heater for a couple of weeks…

  Into The Void - Black Sabbath

  Tough choice.

  Re: Black Dog, is the riff the entire guitar part that repeats after each verse? If so I probably should've voted for that. It seems a little complex to be considered a riff, but if it is it's one of the best ever for sure.

  Per Yella Ai…

  A guitar riff is a repeated sequence of notes or chords that gives structure and character to a song.

  IFL the Faces. Rod’s best work by far.

  F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off....

  Sweet Leaf - Black Sabbath

  I would rank Lord of this World right up there with Into the Void too

  I could have gone either way on this. In the end I think into the void is a little sludgier which is what I want in my Sabbath riffs.

  There is eight different sub genres of music on that album. It’s underrated for its influence

  I recently saw this all girl tribute band called Black Sabbitch recently. They were good. She even played harmonica on The Wizard.

  It's my favorite Sabbath record.
