    Clutch do have some immense riffs. I agree with the Reef suggestion earlier too, Kenwyn House has created some excellent riffs, including with Goldray.

    That Skid Row one’s awesome.  And Sebastian Bach has a great 80s rock scream.

    There are so many great riffs that never get a look in with these polls, often by the very bands that hog the lists in the first place! Anyway a few of my favs off the top of my head…
