Unquestionably "Satisfaction." The riff that created the song that created modern rock music.

That's right. Whatever bands you're into might not exist if it weren't for the handful of notes that drove "Satisfaction."

I realize a lot of you weren't around in 1965, so it's understandable that later KR riffs are more recognizable to you and have more prominence in your ears.

But "Satisfaction" is the granddaddy of them all. If you like any type of kick arse rock today, you can thank Richards for making it possible.

I think that this thread is more of a "what's your favorite" type deal...

Satisfaction is his greatest riff because of the massive impact of the song, which I agree with. He's written better and more complex riffs than that though imo.
