Riff wars!

For those who love those riffs! Judge the two songs only on the quality of the riffs, or how they make you feel. Start off with two classics: which riff do you prefer?
A. Deep Purple --- Smoke on the water

B. Black Sabbath --- Paranoid


Sign up sheet:
If you want to suggest a matchup just pop your name in (oh no you can't can you, as it's my post? Well, ask me to do it) after the last one shown, and as your turn comes up you can induldge your favourite riffs.

Current listing (in order; current riffmaster shown in bold)

Note: Anyone posting a battle is NOT excluded from voting, ie you can vote for your own favourite out of the two you post.

Tough competition.
Paranoid for me, only by a little.

Do we post two more after we vote or are you posting more after we beat these two to death?

Smoke on the Water. Always considered the Paranoid riff pretty overrated. Especially since it's a pretty blatant semi-rip of Zep's Communication Breakdown.

We'll do the usual: once one has been declared winner or is ahead by a large enough margin that it's not likely to be caught, I'll declare that war over and then whoever wants to can post the next two. Or you can call dibs on it now if you want, but only post once this couplet has been sorted otherwise it'll get very confusing.

So, current result is
Paranoid - 1
Smoke - 1

Actually I vote for Purple so

Paranoid - 1
Smoke - 2

Smoke is just more epic despite the fact that both are pretty clichéd these days.

Paranoid 1
Smoke 3

Refer to The Scrap Heap for my feelings regarding "Smoke on the Water".

Paranoid: 2
Smoke: 3

You've got the ratings mixed up :)

Fixed, danke schoen.

"Smoke On the Water" by far.

Since this is a guitar oriented contest, I'll go with difficulty level.

Paranoid 3
Smoke 4
