What is the most instantly recognizable guitar riff of all time?
Smoke on the Water?
Da Da Da DaDa Dum Dum
smoke on the water

Da Da Da DaDa Dah Dum
da da dadadum

>>65646255
Is it though? I bet if you played that to a random person off the street they wouldn't be able to name the song or the band
sunshine of your love
smoke on the water
whole lotta love
Back in Black, probably
Smoke on the Water's riff is well known but the band isn't as well known

If you're picking an AC/DC song surely it's gotta be Highway to Hell?
>>65646180
back in black
Pretty Woman
>>65646313
Definitely Back in Black
>>65646290
Also Sunshine of Your Love
>>65646338
People only know the vocals of that song. Unlike that, it's the riff in Back in Black that is iconic
>>65646276
no, but they'd *recognise* the riff. it's like the first thing every guitar player learns.
i'd also nominate 'iron man' by sabbath.
>>65646338
Could go either way
I think Back in Black is more defined by its riff, though, while Highway to Hell is defined by its chorus
sweet child of mine is another one, pretty sure everyone over the age of 12 knows that song
sweeeeet home abalamma
>>65646520
same with iron man
>>65646404
>People only know the vocals of that song
Come on now, literally everyone knows what song is on when that first 'da na na' plays. The song has been used in loads of popular movies and tv shows, more than BIB i'm willing to bet.
by christ lads surely its iron man if we are going AC/DC
inna gadda da vida
Ozzy - crazy train
25 or 6 to 4
Satisfaction
Smells Like Teen Spirit could be it too
Johnny B. Goode tho
>>65647211
Fucking THIS
In no order
Smoke on the Water
Iron Man
Sweet Child o' Mine
Back in Black
maybe Sweet Home Alabama
Anything newer might lose the old crowd
>>65646180
It's either Satisfaction or something by The Beatles, some of the ones you guys are choosing are very popular but wouldn't be recognized by people over 65
>>65648366
Satisfaction is more recognizable by the masses than any Beatles song and it's not even close
>>65646520
this
Cocaine
