Dittos Rush. Greatest radio bumper song of all time.
Greatest (rock) guitar riff - released in 1984 edition?
- Thread starter YellowSnow
- Start date
The real winner @BleachedAnusDawg is Drop Dead Legs which is Eddie's finest riff, but I'm trying to not let my confirmation bias steel the show.
@Fire_Marshall_Bill 's butt rock is a weak spot in my resume.
Drop Dead Legs
1984 was the zenith of 80's music.
Thriller, Madonna, Prince, Hair Metal and the 2nd British Invasion.
And Reagan kicked ass for a second term.
Good tims. Good tims indeed.

I know, I know. I thought be the only one lobbying for this track, however.
Great year.
Washington won football and rowing natties.
The Gipper won the last great POTUS landslide, the likes of which we'll never see again.
Bless your heart Yella. You tried but your 80s rock and metal gap is YUUUGGGE!
Nothing BUTT rock is not my wheelhouse. But VH and Metallica crush this shit.
I fucking hate 2025 America with every ounce of my being, and my life is pretty good all things considered.1984 was a great year for music. It was going to be VH all the way.
But Ratt’s Out of the Cellar album is full of great riffs.
Well this is part of endless debate to me with specific artists and music overall. Am I giving it extra points over say Panama because I've heard one 100 times and the other 10,000 times and a lot of those times when I wasn't specifically seeking it out? Probably. Hard to judge things when you consider that.
I don't think this is even old man yelling at clouds anymore at this point. I grew up a huge huge rap fan but what seems like the dominant rap type music now I don't think even is that and is literally just someone lazily talking over the same music that kind of sounds like the tracks that come with a karaoke machine slowed down. Like they premiered some Travis Scott song at the halftime of the CFP championship and I'm like this and Bad Bunny shit isn't necessarily bad. It's just nothing. It's worse than like Pitbull or Black Eyed Peas which I thought would never happen because that sucked more but at least was something.I fucking hate 2025 America with every ounce of my being, and my life is pretty good all things considered.1984 was a great year for music.

I think all genres eventually hit a wall and run out of good ideas. Rock was 30 years old by the time of VH 1984, but there were still a few good veins of new ideas left to mine. But by the late 90s it had all been done.I don't think this is even old man yelling at clouds anymore at this point.
