Best guitar rift of the 80's

[Sebastian F7]

Heard on our local radio that back in black was voted best riff of the 80's. While it was a good rift I personally say Cliff Burton and Randy Rhoads both did better. Any other opinions on this?

Cliff Burton was a bass player. For me my favorite 80s riff Lime Light from Rush

Yup a bass guitar. Guess you've never heard anesthesia (pulling teeth) which Burton nailed on his first try.

Bad to The Bone

George Thorogood. I like AC/DC and the Back in Black album but I think this was better (1982).

I also think as Guitar riffs go, this is as good or better.

Any mention of guitar and 80's has to have Eddie Van Halen near or at the top.

Wasn't he just named the best ? I thought I heard this on the radio a few weeks back ?
