I meant to include this but forgot. Truly monu-mental!

OK, including "The Ocean" is unfair. It is excluded from consideration. Much like a few other classics that no one has mentioned (e.g. "Back in Black") this song and its riff are so monumentally and groin-grabbingly awesome that it is unfair to consider them alongside mortal riffs.

At the same time, "Come as you are" is one of the cheesiest and worst riffs anyone has included in this thread.

Your simultaneous showing of terrific and questionable taste have puzzled me.

In Nirvana's hands, a cheesy riff. I did like it when it was called "Eighties" by Killing Joke, though.

You guys are just Nirvana haters... it's the same riff!

I love Nirvana! It just happens to be one of their worst, cheesiest songs.
