If you could have written one riff, which one would it be?

The one riff I would like to lay claim too is "Smoke on the Water." It's not the greatest, but I'm sure it brings in the royalities.

Otherwise for sheer creativeness, I would pick Crazy Train
 
Virtually every riff in this god damn metal classic. Born and bred nearly 20 years ago and still classed as a piece of noise lol. Go in at 3:30 and hear some serious ****. Slipknot who?

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 corab and a piece of cellophane (similar to an improvised kazoo)...apparently.

Haha ^^

Jimmy Page probably wishes he actually wrote that riff to.

Anyway, I choose "Sweet Jane." It's simple and catchy just like what a good riff should be like. For me, it's the quintessential rock and roll riff.
 
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
