Whole Lotta (Awesome) Riffs!
What makes an awesome riff? We don't pretend to know the technical aspects of making one, though we can spot an excellent one from a mile away! BBC Radio 2 in the UK asked their listeners; what is the greatest guitar riff of all time? They decided on Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love", and we can't disagree with that! We would've liked a few more Aussie tracks in the list though...
