| Great thread. Now I need to dig out my Stones CDs as well. I saw them at Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville, TN during my sophomore year of college. Those boys rocked it out. Three years before that I was lucky enough to see Pink Floyd (sans Roger Waters) during their Division Bell tour. Best.concert.ever. :) |

| Lilith |
Chris Isaak's - I wanna fall in love
Has a beautiful melodic riff through it which isnt exactly in your face but sets the whole song.
Strings in The Verve's Bittersweet Symphony would be another memorable one.
Purple Haze, Jimmy H had some great songs.
Bloodletting- Concrete Blonde
Bloc Party, This Modern Love, Banquet & Luno, awesome riffs in those |

Pink Floyd and The Rolling Stones are pretty much my top two favorite bands of all time.
I have the intro guitar to Gimme Shelter as my ringtone :p |

I agree that most of the great riffs are in the classics-Pink Floyd, Led, Hendrix, etc., but one track that has a little riff at the end I really like is:
Third Eye Blind - Jumper
Yeah they're California poppy-rock, but that short riff at the end, while very simple, is freakin' addictive. |

electric bass; but yeah, Third Eye Blind are awesome. Their first album is one of the best rock albums of the nineties. |

Although I'm over that kind of trance (and trance in general), it sounds pretty nice... Who's the artist of it? :) |
