Overshadowed by the fame of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple, most of the bands in this mix have gone completely off the radar for the past several decades. IMHO, if they were given the chance they can definitely go head to head with the Three Kings of hard rock.

Here are some of my favorite tracks with killer riffs.
WARNING: Riffs might get stuck in your head for the next several years.
