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"

Wasting a vote in honor of @AtomicPiss 's Asian fetish.
Damn near his theme song.

Geddy Lee’s vocals used to bug the shit out of me, but he’s grown on me over the years. Their music wouldn’t sound right without his singing.

I feel for ace of spades. Would have won many years.

Did anyone notice? The best thing about playing parties is the majority are so fukt up they can’t tell the difference. We played a party and midway through Wanted Man this drunk girl loses her balance and tried to use my Les Paul head to steady herself. She tweaked the low E, A, and D tuning pegs, somehow making E and A flat and D sharp. Every power chord sounded like 2 retarded cats fucking. After the show I had several partygoers say that was the best song in our set and it sounded awesome

Good selections, B.I.B. Is a major player in the soundtrack of my college years…

In my shitty garage band phase - we played rower parties twice a year and never had a paying gig EVER - I played a Messican Tele. Was way too pour for any Gibson products. Finally bought a Rickenbacker 330 6 string in 2000 which was my first American guitar. Rickenbackers look cool but are way too niche and hard to play. Alas, I went totally boring guy and got an American Strat in 2009 as a divorce present to myself. I'd love to get me a Les Paul or ES-335 someday, but a J-200 would be my priority mid life crisis Gibson.

I am efforting to get tickets to the July Ozzy/Sabbath final show (final, for real) at the Aston Villa stadium on July 5th.
The 4 OG members of Sabbath are playing as a group, Ozzy is playing also some solo stuff and FCUKIN' OPENING acts include: METALLICA, ANTRAX, SLAYER, AIC, PANTERA, MASTADON, and on and on. I believe the gates open at 0930.
@YellowSnow get tickets for this shit. I'll take you in as a refuge.

By order of the Peaky Fucking Blinders!

BlackSabbath having all 4 OG members still alive has to be some Rock Guinness Book of World Records shit.
None of the other GOAT bands formed in the late 60s can claim this.
I saw them in 98 at Key Arena. Fun times.

You guess correct. My dad referred to Sting as "Stink." I actually don't dislike a lot of their music, but I don't like silly shit.

The lyrics are silly as fuck on said track. The guitar riff that Summers laid down is great.

From Lonesome Dove:
This quote punctuates the scene when Jake Spoon must be hanged along with the murdering horse thieves he has thrown in with. Jake pleads his case but Gus has little sympathy. He says, “You know how it works, Jake. You ride with the outlaw, you die with the outlaw. Sorry, you crossed the line.”

I went to HS @WoolleyDoog with Jake Spoon's son, bud!

Crazy Train - Ozzy Osborne
I couldn't imagine a different style of vocals within that band.
Rush's greatest moment is Tom Sawyer being used in The Waterboy. Definitely their crowning achievement.

The Throbber has fond memories of a Sadie Hawkins dance with that song playing.
Might have been where the purple really throbbed for the first time.
But, yeah, not one of The Police's best efforts.
