Searching for a mind-blowing guitar riff

All right, music lovers, I'm trying to hunt down this track that has the sickest guitar riff around, possibly from a 70s rock band. It's one of those riffs that gets stuck in your head but you can never recall who plays it or the song title. For context, I think it came after an album that was a huge success back in the day. Any ideas?

LOL I bet it's 'Sunshine of Your Love' by Cream! Not quite 70s, but way cooler if you ask me 😎 If not, still worth a listen just for Clapton's riff.

You might be thinking of 'Paranoid' by Black Sabbath. Released in 1970 after their successful debut album. The riff is often confused and misremembered because it’s famous and been covered a lot. Listen again, you might recognize it!

Lol, 'sick guitar riff'? There's more to music than just catchy riffs. Anyway, sounds like Led Zeppelin. Almost everyone asking this is looking for Zeppelin.

Could be from Pink Floyd's 'The Wall'. They released it after 'Dark Side of The Moon' was a smashing success in the 70s. Or maybe Yes? Hard to say without more details.

I might be totally off, but is it that one by Black Sabbath? I don’t know, they have killer riffs!

Could it be Deep Purple's 'Smoke on the Water'? It came out in the early 70s and the riff is INSANELY catchy. Plus, it was after their success with 'Machine Head'. Just a thought!

Sounds like you're talking about the legendary riff from Led Zeppelin's 'Whole Lotta Love'. Came out after their debut album, which was a massive hit! That riff is unforgettable once it's in your head 🤘🟢
