Pretty much, and then there's the fact that it's so recognizable, which I think is what they really base the riffs on instead in those lists, not the quality.

 

I can list so many riffs that are better than Hendrix but its not like many people would instantly recognize them.

To clarify for any readers who find this confusing: this latest poll was a readers' poll conducted by MusicRadar.com. A previous poll that turned up virtually identical results was the Total Guitar magazine readers' poll from five years ago, in which "PIB" turned up as #12 or #13, I don't remember which.

 

Does anybody know offhand if both polls were vulnerable to, ahem, repeated internet voting?

lol van halen never did anything as good plug in baby

 

its always plug in baby cus its well known and isnt just a big heavy mother.

 

Listen to Van Hlens first album. Eddie's guitar work in it is amazing, a lot more creative and techincal than Matts.

Even though it's not my favourite, PIB is probably their best riff

I'm not voting on that :/ Most of those are either crap/boring/overplayed/uninspiring... Enter Sandman is boring for Metallica, Plug in Baby is boring for Muse and Sweet Child O Mine? OH REALLY?

 

¬_¬ c;monn... if these are the iconic riffs of rock music... :facepalm:

 

No thanks.
