I don't play guitar, so I have zero knowledge of how the f to say this properly, but the thing that bothers me about the riff in "Paranoid" is that it jumps several notes, whereas "Smoke" uses notes closer to each other, and it sounds much more melodic and heavier to me.

Never been a big fan of the Paranoid riff, as infamous as it may be.

Paranoid - 3
Smoke - 6

I was pointing out that you didn't update the count.

Oh, thanks, but I was just going to leave it to TH to tally it up, it's not like he has much to do...

Smoke on the water. First riff just about every guitar player learns (and usally plays wrong).

Don't you mean:
?

At least we can agree that Iommi is a riff-master.

This is true.

Guys, stop confusing matters with other Sabbath riffs! You'll get your turn ... soon I guess. Purple are ripping Sabs a new one here!

Paranoid - 3
Smoke on the water - 7

Currently

If Smoke goes three more ahead we'll declare it the winner --- d'uh!
