Ready for some good classic rock?
BBC Radio 2 summoned a panel of guitar music experts, Radio 2 presenters, music critics and record producers to pick the 100 guitar riffs. Then it asked listeners to vote them. The resulting chart is in the playlist below, filled with rock kaisers like Led Zeppelin, Guns n'Roses, Deep Purple, Jimi Hendrix, Metallica, Nirvana, along with oldies (Eddie Cochrane, Duane Eddy, Chuck Berry) and youngsters (Arctic Monkeys, Black Keys). Just 3 songs (by AC/DC, The Beatles and Joan Jett) are not available on Spotify.
Turn your volume up and enjoy!
