I had some tough choices here. I love Photograph, but Barricuda is one of the Best Classic Riffs of all time. I really love Unchained, but the weight of the riff in Satisfaction is dwarfs it. Back in Black is great & I would include it in my list of Best Classic Riffs of all time, but Tom Sawyer's technically superior. It's a shame, most of favorites in the catagory are pitted against each other in round one.

Voting in this bracket ends tomorrow.  Be sure to get your votes in today.  If you are late to the party, you can still vote in this bracket or any other open brackets (Classic Ballads is the only closed bracket so far for round 1). 

I'll post my votes now, which will officially close the Classic Riffs Bracket.  If my vote moves the contest into a tie, I will not count it (so technically I have the tie-breaker):

 

Tom Sawyer

Smoke On The Water

Jump In The Fire

Barracuda

Unchained

Long Train Running

Funk # 49

Iron Man
