    What's the most easily identified opening guitar riff

    What do you think is the most easily identified guitar riff to open a song. For example, when you hear the guitar within seconds you know the song. I am going to say Sunshine of Your Love by Cream. Or Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple.

                Double Live Gonzo was the first album my mom ever threw away. She denies it but I have no doubt that it was her. I'm still pissed off about that.

                      Ah yes, excellent tune, hadn't thought of that. Also Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry.

For example, when you hear the guitar within seconds you know the song. I am going to say Sunshine of Your Love by Cream. Or Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple.
