Riffs of the Decade: 2000-2009

Here are the best riffs of the decade. This is one of the few posts I actually had to research! Interestingly, the best known riff of the decade was probably a piano riff. Coldplay's "Clocks" became omnipresent and iconic during the aughts especially when the media needed some background music for a story. The riff is not as important to music as it used to be. Perhaps all the great riffs have been written.

Here are the riffs of the decade:

Kryptonite- 3 Doors Down

Judith- A Perfect Circle

Cochise- Audioslave

Suicide Messiah- Black Label Society

The Pretender- Foo Fighters

Take Me Out- Franz Ferdinand

American Idiot- Green Day

Horseshoes and Hand Grenades- Green Day

Sleep Now in the Fire- Rage Against the Machine

Vertigo- U2

Slither- Velvet Revolver

Seven Nation Army- White Stripes
