    Fixed that for you.

    Led Zepp all the way. Stairway contains possibly the greatest guitar riff of all time

    Nope, iirc, Hotel California won that won on some poll

    Not that Zepplin is bad. Just not as good :)

    that is at least a catchy riff, I wouldnt call the stairway riff a 'riff', its just playing chords without 4 of the notes :p

    Can you also answer this though? Which song is better? Different artists, different style, just like your original Q!

    Ah but its still pretty good to hear full blast

    Would say the only riff I can play on guitar (without making any errors) is The Kink's 'you really got me'

    Joe Satriani is a guitar w*nker! Technically great, sh*te songs!

    A well executed riff does not make a good song!

    Hotel California is miles better than Stairway, although Led Zep are vastly superior the The Eagles overall. (Led Zep have many better songs than stairway)

    Since the question has been asked, I would choose Satch over Petrucci.

    Hotel California is superior to stairway in every possible way.
    That fcukin guitar solo in stairway is a piece of ****e, I mean learn a new scale Jimmy.
    The harmony of arpeggios at the end of Hotel California however almost make me cream my pants.
