When Doves Cry? 
It begins with a guitar solo not a riff?! Stairway To Heaven?
A riff needs to be repeated through out the song to be considered a riff, right? [Edited 12/12/06 15:10pm] Yeah, that's how I think of a riff also. So I agree about When Doves Cry... But Stairway To Heaven does repeat that guitar part, so I'd say it is a riff. | |

A lot of the stuff Randi Roads(Rhoads) I don't know how to spell his name played for Ozzy when he first went solo before he died. I'm thinking right now of Crazy Train. "Why'd I waste my kisses on you baby?" R.I.P. Prince You've finally found your way back home. Well Done. | |

But Stairway To Heaven does repeat that guitar part, so I'd say it is a riff. You know the opening two minutes aren;t original?It was stolen from spirit taurus. When it changed as well the chord is stolen from the chocolate watch band 'and she's lonely | |

I gotta go with this one. Seems like everyone knows this riff, but relatively few people can place it with this song. They just think of it as a "blues riff." ...and, of course at Every football game in the nation:

I'm sure it's been done a million times in classical & jazz & other places. Still I guess that doesn't mean they didn't steal it from Spirit Taurus... My Legacy
