POPSTop 25 Guitar Riffs 1-13 Just seven songs penned in the last two decades have made it on to a list of the greatest guitar riffs of all time. British rock band Deep Purple top the list with their 1973 hit Smoke on the Water. Among the more recent riffs is Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit (1991), in second place, and Wake Up by Rage Against the Machine (1992) in 16th. The Red Hot Chilli Peppers have two entries, Under The Bridge (1992) at 9 and Give it Away (1991) at 21. However, not one song written since 2003 made the short list. Songs by American writers claimed the majority of places in the top 25, but seven of the songs on the list were written by British artists.
