Alex Chilton is a pop genius. "September Gurls" by Big Star gots the greatest ringing guitar riff ever, one that would make Peter Buck of R.E.M. die of envy. The riff powers a punchy yet melancholy melody that remains one of rock and roll's greatest moments.

good call there, MB Though he certainly didn't hold a candle to his dad, Julian Lennon's "Too Late for Goodbye" contained a pretty catchy little hook.

Iggy Pop's The Passenger.
My first trip to Istanbul, we'd been out all night and it was early in the morning. My brother's friend was driving on the road that parallels the Bosphorus River and the Passenger came on his player. It was a perfect moment in an amazing new place. Every time I hear that song, I think of that ride.
I read this as "Great Scott, thread!"

More than four years ago, I posted this in the song comments on Bowie's "Heroes."
Middle of the night. Two or three a.m. Middle of Washington—Ritzville. Halfway back to an unhappy home, five hundred miles gone and five hundred to go. Still tasting the kisses of the woman I wished I was with but knew it was never, ever gonna be. Perkins. Coffee. And this song, of all damned things, on the restaurant PA. My god.
It's still true, today. I'm right back in the restaurant—and into the few hours before that moment—every time I hear the song.
Not so much a riff as a drone. . . .
