reppinzeppelin Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 10. Kashmir - Nothing has ever sounded like it and probably never will. 9. Communication Breakdown - Really the first of the zep riffs people heard and set the stage for riffs to come. 8. NFBM - Good riff with the combination of Plant singing the riff is quite hypnotizing. 7. Dancing Days - I love the eastern sound 6. The Ocean - Favorite part of this riff is that it has three parts but you dont get lost in the mess 5. The Rover - Good attitude riff. When I play it I can't help but get that Jimmy snarl on my face. 4. The Girl I Love - Good riff with great guitar tone to back it up. 3. Black Dog- Needs no description. I believe I read somewhere where this is Dave Grohls favorite riff. 2. Heartbreaker- I find myself humming this riff all day. I love the false start at one of the Earls Court date. 1. Whole Lotta Love- To me there is no question. Never in music has four notes shown as much emotion as in Whole Lotta Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyingzepp Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Whole Lotta Love is THEE riff. Page is definitely the riff master though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honeybrown1976 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Definitely WLL. That riff is just sexy. After that, I'd choose Kashmir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazedcat Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Is this just 1 riff though? It never ends up being just one of anything here............... My personal favorite probably be the opening riff to Whole Lotta Love too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planta1963 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Whole lotta love - when I heard in far `76 I said to myfelf - that`s the band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 It is almost impossible to choose but I'd have to go "Heartbreaker". It's pure undiluted sex & menace. "Whole Lotta Love" & "Bring It On Home" aren't far behind BUT "Heartbreaker" is THE ONE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiser Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 There really isn't a wrong answer when it comes to Zeppelin riffs. Even a sort of toss away song by Zeppelin standards like "Houses Of The Holy", other bands would kill for that riff but with Page it's almost like "Oh here's one that's not too clever but you may like it" & it just grooves. Actually that one is the closest I think Zeppelin ever got to a T Rex sort of vibe which makes sense as Marc Bolan was all the rage in England when that song was recorded & Bolan had some killer groove oriented riffs himself.

Little Robert Anthony II Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 As great a riff as Whole Lotta Love has, arguably there are SEVERAL more Jimmy Page riffs that are just as good if not better. These would include: Black Dog The Ocean Bring It On Home The Rover Houses of The Holy Kashmir Ramble On (Maybe not thought of as a riff song because the main riff is acoustic, but it's still a great riff in my book) Good Times, Bad Times (The riff during the second verse, very underrated because it wasn't the main riff) Communication Breakdown The Girl I Love She Got Long Black Wavy Hair How Many More Times Dazed and Confused And probably a few more you can think of beyond that. As good as guys like Iommi and Richards were at coming up with great riffs, Jimmy Page has to be the undisputed riff master because he came up with over a dozen riffs that would be the best riff of almost any other rock guitarist's career.

ledrim Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 So many possibilities...but suprisingly nobody has mentioned the opening/closing riffs of Moby Dick...to me, it doens't get any better than this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckjuana Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you're all wrong. the correct answer is actually In The Light better luck next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
