Layla is my #1 too. Although

I always skip the second half of that song. Never felt like it belonged with the rest of it.

Open question to Lounge. What is the most iconic rock & roll guitar riff?
Va AandM • 12/31/25 07:33 AM ET
Hendrix's version of All Along the Watch Tower**

There can't be just one. Some that are often overlooked:

I'd also add several more off the top of my head:

Life in the Fast Lane from a warmup riff by Joe Walsh**

I started by saying Chuck Berry was iconic. BOC Cities on Flame…
Va AandM • 12/31/25 11:48 AM ET
Jack White/White Stripes Seven Nation Army is my favorite**
HokieKevin94 • 12/31/25 11:15 AM ET
First one that came to mind, American Woman. Too many to choose.**

Iconic, not sure, but I love the opening of Victim of Love by the Eagles**
MCL3 Hokie • 12/31/25 09:55 AM ET
I'll add Lou Reed, Intro / Sweet Jane**

Yeah, Layla for me, was backpacking once with the most enormous ear worm
`lag • 12/31/25 09:08 AM ET
Layla is my #1 too. Although ◄
HokieMacDaddy • 12/31/25 09:31 AM ET

My Girl was certainly the king in my HS days**
TomTurkey • 12/31/25 11:57 AM ET
Stones - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction has to be considered I would think.
Victory Ticker • 12/31/25 08:04 AM ET
There are definitely a TON of opening riffs people of s certain age (ahem)
Coach McGuirk • 12/31/25 08:22 AM ET
