Favourite guitar riffs.

I was going to say best guitar riffs but of course that's very much a matter of personal taste and we'll never be able to agree on it.

So which songs feature your favourite guitar riffs? And if possible please add a Youtube link when listing them.

It's much more fun if we try and do impressions of them and people try and guess what they
are... no?

e.g. one of mine is

Duuhhh-nanna-nanna-nanna-duh
[prrrrb, prrrrb, prrrrb]
Duuhhh-nanna-nanna-nanna-duh
[prr-boww]
Duuhhh-nanna-nanna-nanna-DOOM-CHAKKA-DOOM-CHAKKA- DOOM!

etc.

It all seems so obvious now. I did warn you that I'm crap at this though.

Oh god loads! But I can never remember then when I want to...

I want to play a lovely loud electric guitar. And the drums. And I also want a big noisy motorbike. I think it's a mid-life crisis thing.....

Can't get on YouTube but my favourite is absolutely and completely from How Soon Is Now. There's an amazing chord change in it that gets me goosebumpy everytime. At least I think it's a chord change. And a riff. I'm not terribly musical.
