These are both great too.

The Specials covered 'Guns of Navarone'.

Are you and Kari both fans of ska?

I believe both of you like Jamaican accents.

I love ska, Kari is more partial to it.. she prefers the straight out of Jamaica ska, where I dig the punk side of it.
I used to frequent ska shows a lot in NYC... most places that held those are unfortunately closed down now.

Ya man, de riff on de old school ska beat dem white cats out de water man. I had a box set of old ska and went gaga over it. I used to bring it to the boutique I worked at and jam out to it all day long. Sales always went up when I ruled the CD player. Don Drummond was a brilliant trombonist and composer.

This scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. So, I thought I'd test of out on the next generation, showed it to my kids. Scared the shit out of them!

Would have loved to have been in the audience at this gig, 1970 Paris. Nothing like this had ever been heard before. Imagine the impact!

Play it after sunset, headset on, lights switched off. A once in a lifetime experience.

Once in a lifetime - cos it will give you a heart attack fo' sho'.

Oh yea. The "wall of sound" as someone described their music.

That riff is a 3 chord progression, including an interval of tritone, also known as an augmented fourth. That interval was banned from medieval ecclesiastical singing because of its dissonant quality, which led monks to call it diabolus in musica—"the devil in music".

The Doors - Light my fire

It's not really about the riff, which is, well, plain, but the Manzarek's intro is a meisterstück!

Right. Plenty of The Doors' tunes could be listed here, like for example:
- bass guitar riff in Riders on the storm

- ska-like guitar in Alabama song

and many. more

But I just remembered this sweet little tune:

Motorhead - Orgasmatron

Either some of the things in songs listed here are not riffs, or I am mistaken about what a riff means :)
Anyway, have fun. :)

Perhaps someone could attempt to explain exactly what a riff is.

Riff is a short repeated pattern.
A melody or a solo is not a riff.
Riff usually starts and continues throughout the song/piece, or repeats few times. It characterizes/differentiates the song/piece from the others.
It is the most distinctive part of a musical piece, though there can be a musical piece without any riffs.

The way I see it a riff is a 'musical phrase', sort of a pattern, on which the rest of the song (vocals, solos, etc) is built.

EDIT: I agree with Ilter's definition. I could also add that there can be a few riffs in a piece.Jarek A. edytował(a) ten post dnia 23.07.08 o godzinie 12:04

The classic example of a riff is The Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction"
