cheesehead1204 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 I couldn't find an actual poll for this topic, but if there is one let me know. I listed most of my favorites and an "other" selection. Please specify if you pick "other". My favorite is Kashmir because I think it defines the word epic. Quote
Black_Dog_90 Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 "Whole Lotta Love" Jimmy has created a lot of good riffs but "Whole Lotta Love" has always been my favourite. My second favourite would be "Kashmir". Quote
NobodysFaultButJimmys Posted February 23, 2011 Posted February 23, 2011 has to be, Bring it On Home that riff is POWERFUL. Quote
JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted February 26, 2011 Posted February 26, 2011 I chose other because I can't choose which one I like the most. I like all of them, too tough to pick. Quote
missytootsweet Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I voted for "No Quarter." This is such an underrated masterpiece imo. Every member of the band shines tightly and brightly throughout the entire song. But Mr. Page's repeated "riff" near the beginning and the end is riveting.......he works that guitar, know what I mean? I also think "In the Evening" is another great one, but since we're limited to one, oh well. ............. missy Quote
BlackDog71 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I voted "Kashmir" with "Whole Lotta Love" and "Heartbreaker" right behind it. Tough to choose. Good post. Quote
JiMiHeNdRiX1967 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I could never ever ever ever ever answer this question Quote
ZosoLuke Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 Really tough question. There's too many great riffs to even fit in the poll. I went for Heartbreaker in the end though. When played live in 73' on boots like The Vibes are real, the way the drum introduces the song for a few bars, then the riff comes in is just pure groove! Quote
MINI_Zoso Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 I'm currently trying to work out "Heartbreaker" on my electric right now...so that is my current vote. But "Kashmir"? Drool. Quote
Mofostone Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Zeppelin & AC/DC are just perfect riff rock lovers bands like me, I decided 2 yrs ago I was sick of rock dyin & drifting leavin only memories to hear so I picked up a guitar & studied what professor page taught & now I have my own rock to unleash upon fellow rockers, check it soundcloud.com/mofostone you may dig it Quote
dazedcat Posted August 11, 2011 Posted August 11, 2011 Black Dog with those complex rhythm changes. Epic tune. Quote
sixpense Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Black Dog riff written by John Paul Jones; Who would have thought! Quote
The Rover Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I couldn't find an actual poll for this topic, but if there is one let me know. I listed most of my favorites and an "other" selection. Please specify if you pick "other". My favorite is Kashmir because I think it defines the word epic. From seeing LZ live, yes "Kashmir" would be the favorite live riff. On record, initially "HB" was my #1 followed by "WLL" in second place. But after lo these many years, my User Name says it all... "The Rover" is my #1 riff on record. My #2 riff is the title track from "TSRTS". And #3 is from the break in "For Your Life". So, poo on you cheesehead1204, for being so close with "Custard Pie", but missing "The Rover" as a poll selection..... You really appreciate "Custard Pie" enough to leave off "The Rover" ? ? ? Anyway, it's not that bid deal to me cheesehead1204... I've said all I care to about this already Quote

I don't necessarily like the Custard Pie riff more than The Rover's riff, it's just what came to the top of my head when I made the list. Guess it's a good thing I included an 'other' section for the great ones I missed. Quote
mastress of procrastinate Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 That's a really, really tough one. I voted for BIOH, though Whole Lotta LOve is really close. Quote
The_Doc Posted September 27, 2011 Posted September 27, 2011 That's a really, really tough one. I voted for BIOH, though Whole Lotta LOve is really close. I also voted for BIOH but also love the opening riff to Moby Dick. Quote
ZoSo1960 Posted September 30, 2011 Posted September 30, 2011 Its gotta be Whole Lotta Love, it never gets old and always makes me smile Quote
TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted November 4, 2011 Posted November 4, 2011 Gotta be Nobodys Fault But Mine, the only way I can describe it is fun. Quote
The Rover Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Gotta be Nobodys Fault But Mine, the only way I can describe it is fun. NFBM ... one of Zep's Greatest Live Riffs Quote
TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 NFBM ... one of Zep's Greatest Live Riffs especially the riff he does at 4:53 Quote
Led Zep Girl Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 I Immigrant song for me. I love the fast riff. Although Kashmir is my favorite of all time, I had to go with IS. Quote
