barney2EH Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I'll chew on a piece of your CUSTARD PIE. Shuddering intro to the greatest rock album of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zepdoug7 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Top 2 for me In the Light - At 3 minutes in you hear the true definition of 'riff', absolutely incredible. How Many More Times - Not often you can groove on one amazing riff for so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Love That I Found Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I'm not sure if they have a single best one, but I still think Whole Lotta Love is just...wow! Especially the intro riff when the bass kicks in. The depth of power just rattles your headphones. I don't know if it's the best riff but I can't think of one more classic. Other personal favorites of mine would be: The Ocean Custard Pie Heartbreaker Houses Of The Holy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murat Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 There is no best... they're all works of musical art formed with precision by the hands of Mr Page. Ok ok, well the riffs in "As Long As I Have You" are pretty impressive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotDogAudrey Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Bring it on home. I don't know if I have ever picked up a guitar and NOT played that song. An absolute joy to play. Communication Breakdown. No need to explain. Ten Years Gone. The first time I heard this I almost quit playing guitar. Why Bother? Perfect in every way.

Zep 4 Life Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 The Rover is probably top on my list. But Black Dog, Kashmir, Whole Lotta Love, The Ocean, and Achilles Last Stand are all up there for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_Sticks Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 The Rover, and Bring it on Home drive me insane with how great their riffs are Led Zeppelin was the best band at making a badass riff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshleyDeanHudson Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Achilles Last Stand. Easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainy571 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 WHY JUST ONE???? Fine. Kashmir, Dancing Days, Achilles Last Stand, Bring It On Home, The Wanton Song, Immigrant Song. After all, no matter what the song, it remains the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe (Liverpool) Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I think The Rover ranks up there, but it's difficult to just pick one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazulike88 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 The Rover for god's sake .... So Sexy it makes me wanna rape the speakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Thompson Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 This one falls way under the radar because Zeppelin has so many riffs to choose from plus this one is an outro riff of a lesser known Zeppelin song but albeit a popular one amongst Zeppelin fans. IMHO, not only is this the coolest Zeppelin riff, but it might be my favorite riff period of all time. It’s the final 1 1/2 minutes of “ Out on the Tiles”. How could any living human being not wanna groove to this riff? It’s sexy, swag, bluesy, edgy, the full Monty when it comes to guitar riffs. Or is this even considered a riff? Instead, would this be considered a guitar solo due to its length? Anyways, it’s the GOAT in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
