This is where I really fall off. I'm sure I know all of those songs but I can't even put a tune to half of them by name.
King Nothing > Hero of the Day
Forty-Six and Two > Aenema
Nah
After 1994 I start to struggle on this subject, but I'm doing my best, bud.
Not a strong year for rock riffs.
I am going to go with Soundgarden’s Pretty Noose
There are some great albums from 1996- e.g., Wilco's "Being There" is my person fav from that year.
But in terms of riffs, it's kind of meh.
@ukdawg I can't think of any poll worthy riffs off Pinkerton even though that's a terrific LP. The Blue Album is loaded with riffs on the other hand.
The Throbber was in his shitty 90s country phase.
Frens in low places is for fags.
I think everyone went through a shitty 90s country phase and the only difference is how long we stayed in it.
@YellowSnow - I agree, top album but the only contender for riffage would be "Good Life"? "El Scorcho" is not exactly a riff, even though it's super memorable and a great song.
Either one aren't going to take out ones you listed.
I picked Hero of the Day because 1) My favorite track of the bad Bob Rock era and 2) I believe the only Metallica song in a major key.
Sublime had a lot of memorable guitar work on that album too. But, I put them in the "El Scorcho" realm i.e. two notes and everyone knows the song and they are good songs - but is it a riff?
