Your top 10 riffs

[Jérôme Frenchise]

You know, those riffs that won't ever go out of your head.
Think of perfect interaction with bass and drums.
Maybe I'll start the same about VH and Diamond in the Main.

Please don't mention any artist twice (though I know it's hard).

Here's my list:

1) "Voodoo Chile" - Hendrix ("Electric Ladyland")

2) "Moby Dick" - Led Zeppelin ("II")

3) "Blood sucker" - Deep Purple ("In Rock")

4) "Lick and a promise" - Aerosmith ("Rocks")

5) "Riff-raff" - AC/DC - ("Powerage")

6) "Ko Ko blue" - ZZ Top ("Rio Grande mud")

7) "Brown Sugar" - The Rolling Stones ("Sticky fingers")

8) "Substitute" - The Who ("Live at Leeds" version)

9) "Bad to the bone" - G. Thorogood & Destroyers ("Bad to the Bone")

10) "My Michelle" - Guns 'n' Roses ("Appetite for destruction")

Well, it's been a headache for me to set such a list, I obviously had to let many aside.

Anyway, what's YOURS now?
