    This was the first that came to mind.

    I think the Hollies were amazing.  They had a vocal quality like the Bee Gee's.  But not really.

    LOL!  I can't blame you on your stance JG.  That's a great one.  

    I know better than to post anything. I have so many, it's just too hard for me to choose.  I will simply bow to your choice instead.

    So weird. I was just about to give the same answer. 

    Can't get better than Clapton and Layla.

    LOL!  Great choice.  Layla was actually the first song that popped into my head.  Specifically the version from his Unplugged album.  He did an extended opening riff that I never tire of listening to and the performance has a bit more of a bluesy jazz slow laid back feel to it.  I love how he tirelessly comes up with different versions dependent upon his mood at the moment.  I can always find one to satisfy whatever mood I am in.

    Okay Element.  I was avoiding posting because this is really such a hard question for me to answer.  However, I will share one of my many favorites because I can't stand the fact that no one has mention BB King here.  Anything from him is a favorite but I love the multiple riffs throughout this song...
