If you could have written one riff, which one would it be? (bass, metal)

You Really Got Me- The Kinks

Nice choice with The Kinks, although I would have to pick Picture Book, considering the main riff from that song has already been stolen by both Greenday and Steriogram.

Crosstown Traffic - Hendrix.

Made all the better with the use of a comb and a piece of cellophane (similar to an improvised kazoo)...apparently.

I'll pick my favourite riff, The Smiths - What Difference Does It Make?

Heartbreaker by Page.

Brilliant in it's power and simplicity

Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana

Basically when I was 9 years old and heard this song on tv, I was like "wow, wtf is that, I never anything like it" and till this day when that music pops up in my ipod shuffle, I still love that song, which I could of come up with it

A song that could possibly get me on the dance floor regardless of the state of sobriety:

Chic-Good Times.
