If this is representative then all I can say is "oh dear"
Sky polls UK music aficionados to reveal the nation’s favourite 6-string riff of all time to celebrate launch of Greatest Guitar Riff’s on Sky Arts
Sweet Child o’ Mine by Guns n’ Roses is the best guitar riff of all time – more than 35 years after it was released.
A poll of 2,000 music fans saw Prince’s Purple Rain voted in second place, with Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits taking third.
Sky Arts today reveals which iconic guitar solo takes the top spot according to the UK public. The survey results celebrate Greatest Guitar Riffs, a new three part documentary series, which premieres on Sky Arts and NOW on Friday 24th November.
Among the more modern tunes to feature in the top 40 were Sam Fender’s Seventeen Going Under, Pharell Williams’ Happy and Arctic Monkeys Do I Wanna Know.
The poll was commissioned by Sky Arts ahead of the launch of Greatest Guitar Riffs, featuring axe legends Andy Summers, Tony Iommi and Nancy Wilson.
Phil Edgar-Jones, Director of Sky Arts, said: "Do not fret (sorry) for here is the definitive run down of the great guitar riffs of all time, showcasing top masters of the electric six string. It’s the ultimate air guitar play list.
“Whether it’s the late, great Jimi Hendrix, the stalwarts such as Iron Maiden and Led Zeppelin, or the new artists coming through, rock n’ roll will never die.
“There’s new talent coming through constantly. The appetite for new tunes and sweet riffs is as great as it ever has been.”
The research, found an overwhelming 83% said they prefer music with guitars in it, with 81% saying a memorable guitar riff was vital to a good rock song.
The electric guitar is considered the most important instrument to make a song truly great (58%), ahead of the drums (58%) and bass (41%).
Queen’s Brian May, who features in the series, was voted the greatest guitarist of all time, ahead of the iconic Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. Other notable mentions include Mark Knopfler from Dire Straits and the Guns n’ Roses legend Slash.
