Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child has been named the best guitar riff of all time by the musicians' website Music Radar.com, reports the Telegraph.
Also in the top 10 are some of my favourites such as (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones, ranked 10th, Day Tripper by the Beatles, eighth, Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple, fourth, and Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin, third. Only Led Zeppelin has three songs in the top 20.
First my favourites, then the full 20 top list.
The Rolling Stones
The Beatles.
Deep Purple
Led Zeppelin
I would have included Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix, too, (live at Woodstock here) but any more clips in one post would be pushing it.
