Is a riff a repeated chord? What about 'Pinball Wizard - The Who

I heard the 10 ten on XFM this morning (only could find the top5 on the internet) and that was 6th

I'd probably bang foxy lady up there aswell

Also 7 nation army has to be around the mark, what a riff that is. So simple but so effective

Ooh some goodies there - did Whole Lotta Rosie make the 10? It should.
