Temat: Great Riffs of the World
Inspired by an article in today's Guardian: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/jul/22/popandrock..."Ba-ba-ba booom: it's a musical motif so familiar, so distinctive, we recognise it written out in baby words. Did Beethoven realise, when he composed the opening bars of the first movement of his Fifth Symphony, that he had come up with a riff that spoke of fate knocking at the door, the dawn of German Romanticism, a people's search for a national identity, genius standing up against the world? And similarly, did Ritchie Blackmore realise, when he jammed the introduction to Smoke on the Water (duh duh duuuh, duh duh de-duuuh), that he had come up with a riff as emblematic for his generation as the opening of Beethoven's Opus 67?"
What are the world's greatest riffs?
Any Polish ones out there which should get a wider world audience?
