'paranoid' this end, then 'black sabbath' not sure after that... it might have been 'am i evil?'

I wasn't interested in riffs to start with - I picked up a guitar to accompany my own singing.

The first songs I learnt (in one long weekend when I was 14) were:

King of the Road
Greystone Chapel
Words

When it came to riffs, TV themes was where I started - Crossroads (old soap opera in the UK) and the Batman theme. The Shadows stuff came after that.

On the rock front, it probably was Smoke on the Water (in E!) and Chuck Berry riffs (we were introduced to them by Fast Eddie's playing in Motorhead and, to a lesser extent for my little group of guitarists at school, AC/DC).

Er... who?!

The Bee Gees mate... :lol:

I've even got the 1960's sheet music with a picture of the original 5-piece on the front.

I really don't remember, but I think it was probably Enter Sandman. I'm very, VERY surprised not to see anyone else mentioning that yet!

I can't even think what Smoke on the Water sounds like now, and I'm certain I never played it :D

The Passenger by Iggy Pop (didn't particularly like it, just my teacher thought it was a simple open chord based riff).
