Arguing about what the best guitar riff of all time is like trying to choose which one of your children is the favourite, but BBC Radio 2 ran a poll to try and get some sort of a consensus from listeners.

Radio 2 listeners cast their votes from a list of 100 riffs selected by a panel of music industry experts including Radio 2 and 6 Music DJs, music critics and record producers.

The list features some of the best riffs from the likes of the Kinks, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Status Quo and Deep Purple.
