Jimmy Page has all the best riffs - Whole Lotta Love, Heartbreaker, Immigrant Song, Custard Pie, The Rover, Achilles Last Stand, Kashmir, need I go on?

Sabbath's Tony Iommi has to be the king of Riffs!!

There's more on Sabbath One than most bands use in their careers.

Blackmore rules!!! But, as Krusty observed, if we talk about riffs perhaps the king should be Tony Iommi...

Page's riffs are the most intense, and when you then add in the lyrics and rhythm section around them, they are the best.

Sabbath, yeah good, but Iommi is for the most part a pretty unimaginative guitarist, doesn't seem to have that artistic fire in him.

As for more excellent Page riffs: No Quarter, The Ocean, In the Evening, Trampled Underfood, Bring it on Home, Out on the Tiles, Misty Mountain Hop

WTF?

Anyway; my vote goes for Iommi without a doubt. It has been written that he wakes up in the morning and comes up with a riff, of course sarcastically, but it is amazing that the guy has invented dozens of classic riffs.

I guess what I mean is this, Page would never have recorded a riff like "Iron Man," it's too mindless and plodding. It doesn't grab you, it's not sexy.

But Iommi would have and did.

Get your facts straight please.

Smoke on the Water was recorded by Deep Purple.

Oh yeah, sorry. I'm sorry I meant "Iron Man."

For me it has to be Ritchie. Not only for his legendary rifs with Deep Purple (smoke on the water, perfect strangers, black night...) but also for his magnificent riff work on Rainbow.

Tony Iommi,

I was listening to the album Sabbath Bloody Sabbath the other day. Without
a doubt one of the most Riff heavy pieces of music ever.

Well what applies to Iron Man applies to the whole album Paranoid - masterpiece.

Blackmore, with Page close second. DP and LZ are my top non-prog bands

No one in that list, that is for sure. However of that list Tony Iommi.

If you want the king of riffs look no further than Uwe Lulis fromerly of Grave Digger.
