The simplicity and sheer heaviness of 'symphony of destruction' proves mustaines genious

I have to say that's my least favourite riff of Mustaine. Still good though.

Not really a riff but it's the closest thing to a riff in the song and it sounds killer.

racer x - king of the monsters (or for that matter anything of the superheroes album- its a riff-o-rama)

why is it when they release a fathers day album they dont look at threads like this and instead give the general public an album of drunken sing along songs!?

Dream Theater have top notch riffs.
I also like Symphony X's "Sea of Lies" riff, because it mixes all kinds of riffing with alot of techniques that make it sound heavy yet very melodic.
IMO, cool riffs = progressive music, but that's just my taste

Ozzy - Crazy Train
