Shocked Layla isn't on the list. Best guitar riff of all time IMO.

Also if we're talking about newer stuff, Seven Nation Army certainly deserves a mention.

And that being said, how did ZERO queen songs make this list?

That being said,
Queen & David Bowie's "under pressure" has THE most recognizable riff, albeit a bassline, in the history of music.

Yeah but everyone knows they stole it from Vanilla Ice!

also its certainly recognizable, but the most? I think the article at least has the first one (smoke on the water) right there. I mean, Under Pressure isn't even the most recognizable Queen baseline.

I mean, I get that they probably wanted diversity, and already had Cream with Sunshine of Your Love but at the same time. It's Layla. If you can have both Ozzy and Black Sabbath, you can have both Cream and Derek and the Dominoes.

another one bites the dust
