Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Gary Glitter the pedo?

Rock n' Roll Part 2 - Gary Glitter
Yeah, but still the greatest jock jam of all time and it's not really close.
-
Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd
I'm not a big Skynyrd guy, but Simple Man is a great song and probably my favorite one by them. Not sure it's actually the best riff, but I like it the most of the songs on this list so it gets my vote.

I, for one, can no longer listen to R Kelly while making babies because of his pedophilia. Should be the same rule for Gary Glitter. Some people should not receive our adulation.

Rock n' Roll Part 2 - Gary Glitter
I don't listen to music while baby making. Never been my thing.
I've never bought a Gary Glitter LP or CD and have no plans to do so. I just think it was a great song.
I also like to watch the movie Chinatown from time to time.

It's also primarily a synthesizer riff, boss.

Synths in a guitar pole? Christ.

The 'riff' is guitar.
The solos are synth.

Taking Care of Bidness - Bachman Turner Overdrive
BTO was the shit in 73, and brings back fond memories of a 13 y.o. Fish trying to make moves and dance with the hot chicks at the jr. high sock hop, nervously sweating, reeking of my old man’s Old Spice and Vitalis…good tims…

La Grange - ZZ Top
It’s the pedo song but I couldn’t stomach voting for a guy who faced a firing squad.
I played Rock and roll part 2 on guitar one time at a party and everybody chanted hey when the time presented itself and it was pretty fun. CSB

Rock n' Roll Part 2 - Gary Glitter
If if makes you feel better, Gerry Shaphard, the guitar player on the track wasn't a pedo to the best of my knowledge.

R Kelly is a pedo? I thought he just liked to pee on his women.

Taking Care of Business was on the radio in the truck the day I caught my first steelhead in 1973.

Nothing off of Dark Side of the Moon? Or is Yella a Floyd hater? I haven't seen much Pink Floyd hot talk in the Shoppe.

Jessica - Allman Bros
I love DSOTM, but I can't really think of any standout riffs. Plenty of beautiful guitar but the songs aren't really guitar riff driven. Time has a pretty funky riff during the verses. Us and Them has a nice, relaxing riff. That's about all I can hear in my mind. Money too, I guess.

Rock n' Roll Part 2 - Gary Glitter
I have all the classic Floyd albums on vinyl. I’m putting Have a Cigar in the 1975 pole.

Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Yeah, I went back and listened to the full album and it doesn't really have a riff, or at least not without getting a few minutes into a song.
