Always good discussions
What about
U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday and Pride (In the name of love)
Whitesnake - In the heat of the night, Fool for your loving
Judas Priest - Breaking the Law
Snowy White - Bird of Paradise
Motorhead - Ace of Spades
Police - Every breath you take
Foreigner - Juke Box Hero
Another one bites the dust - Queen
These are just the comercial side of the spectrum, and as I wasn't that fond of the 80's, I am sure there are plenty more!
Squonk
I had to strain the brain
More comercial stuff
Heat of the Moment - Asia
Owner of a lonely Heart - Yes
Holy Diver - Dio
Panama- Van Halen

Mr Crowley - Ozzy

Jack you are proving that GnR used up all their riffs on one album ?
Slash is a way better guitarist than most people think!

Sadly I believe that is the truth! The odd nice solo after that (November Rain) but nothing could ever compete...

If we're doing whole albums - what about:
1. "Hells Bells" – 5:10
2. "Shoot to Thrill" – 5:17
3. "What Do You Do for Money Honey" – 3:33
4. "Givin the Dog a Bone" – 3:30
5. "Let Me Put My Love into You" – 4:16
6. "Back in Black" – 4:14

8. "Have a Drink on Me" – 3:57
9. "Shake a Leg" – 4:06
10. "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" – 4:15
and it conveniently has 10 tracks

Back in Black and Sweet Child are great choices.
If you're talking Priest, The Sentinel is my fave riff. It doesn't have the Guitar Hero mass appeal of Breaking The Law of course.
For Whom The Bell Tolls would have to be in there somewhere.
IceCreamMan
Whole albums ...Scorpions animalise
chris77
Money for Nothing - Dire Straits and Another one bites the dust - Queen (bass riff, but still...bloody catchy), also deserve a mention.
guidothepimmp
that list isnt a list without
kid ego... extreme
?

Here's a glam rock/ hair metal angle ?
1. Twisted Sister - "I wanna rock"
2. George Lynch - "Mr. Scary"
3. Extreme - "Cupid's dead"
4. Warrant - "Cherry pie"
5. Whitesnake - "Slip of the toungue"
6. Alcatrazz - "Mercy"
7. Dokken - "Back for the attack"
8. David Lee Roth - "Yankee Rose"
9. Damn Yankees - "Where you goin' now"
10. Mr. Big - "Colorado Bulldog"
11. Def Leppard - "Pour some sugar on me"
12. Queensryche - "Jet City Woman" (note: They were glam before they went prog)
13. Skid Row - "18 & life"
14. Poison - "Talk dirty to me"
?
inflames
Excellent choices!
I still think we should split the 80's.
I think you get early 80's riffs and late 80's riffs.

The ride to Agadir - Mike Batt
This was an epic song that made me rush out and buy 'Schizophonia'. Album had some good songs "The walls of the World", "Voices in the Dark"
"Dont let me be understood"
@ Zohn what a memory jolt, I hadn't thought of Mike Batt for years. I even enjoyed "The Womble Song"
Underground overground wombling free....the wombles of wimbledon common..... ?
