My best guitar riffs: Ozzy Osbourne- I Don't Know Iron Maiden- Aces High Loudness - Crazy Nights Scorpions - Rock You Like A Hurricane Whitesnake- Still Of The Night Dokken- In My Dreams Ratt- Lay It Down Motley Crue- Looks That Kill Dio- We Rock Rush- Limelight Judas Priest- Breaking The Law Black Sabbath- Iron Man Van Halen - Runing With The Devil Poison- Talk Dirty To Me Cinderella- Gipsy Road Saxon- Denim and Leather Accept- Balls to the Wall Survivor- Eye of the Tiger Toto- Hold The Line Foreigner- Feels Like The First Time Heart- Barracuda Stryper- Soldiers Under Command

Like many of you out there, I also have some favorites that are not included in the list but, for most of the picks I agree. Van Halen's Jump, The Guess Who's American Woman, Jethro Tull's Aqualung, The Hollies' Cool Long Woman; also La Grange by ZZTop or Purple Haze by you know who may have at least been mentioned, but all this is so subjective and depends on taste and favoritism. There will never be a list on which we all concur.

Wow! For the most part this was actually a good list. Only a few things, one I wouldn't have chosen I Can't Get No satisfaction as number one but the riff does make the top ten. Another: Whole Lotta Love would be one of my last picks for Jimmy Page's greatest riff: I would've chosen Communication Breakdown, No Quarter, The Ocean, How Many More Times, The Lemon Song, Heartbreaker, Moby Dick, Black Dog, Immigrant Song, Out on The Tiles, Rock and Roll, When The Levee Breaks, Misty Mountain Hop, Stairway to Heaven, The Rover, In My Time of Dying, Houses of The Holy, Kashmir, Ten Years Gone, The Wanton Song, Sick Again, Nobody's Fault But Mine, In The Evening, heck even Hot Dog before I chose Whole Lotta Love (sorry for the long list I won't do it again). Also Ain't Talking bout Love is far from Eddie's best riff, I think Unchained, Mean Street, Panama, or 5150 should've made the list (not just the honorable mentions)

Riff* Dumbass

Whole Lotta Love is like my least favorite Led Zeppelin riff, could've chose a much better one

Songs that actually deserve to be on this list in no particular order: Rock Bottom (UFO) Out on the Tiles (Zep) Bitch (Stones) Heartbreaker (Zep) Dynamite (Scorpions) No Class (Motorhead) On the Hunt (Lynyrd Skynyrd) T.V Eye (Stooges) The Needle and the Damage Done (Neil Young) Death Letter (Son House)

I guess by 'best' they mean 'instantly recognizable by most' ...

Yea seems more like that rather than the "best". Certainly difficult to boil it down to 10 best since highly subjective but some here probably don't belong. Eric Clapton?? No freaking way that's in the top 10 and I would say probably not even in the top 100. The Kinks is very questionable also.

Why is no one saying anything about the Ozzy Osbourne footage? The narrator is talking about Randy Rhoads' guitar work... but the footage is Ozzy playing with frigging Brad Gillis! Rhoads wrote the damn riff and it's not like video doesn't exist of him playing this song. Gillis is awesome and everything, but Mojo, just make sure you're using footage of the artist you're talking about, alright?
