The rock classic came out top from a list of 100 riffs drawn up by a panel of Radio 2 and 6 Music DJs, critics and record producers.


Ah. That explains it.

AC/DC's best riff is 'Whole Lotta Rosie,' so there.

How Soon Is Now is by far the best Smiths songs but it's not even remotely a great riff.

At least that terrible White Stripes song didn't make it.

That doesn't narrow it down very much.
